Why does IE block the HTML5 video?

It is because HTML 5 Video Player makes use of JavaScript to control and display the HTML5 video galleries and IE browser imposes higher security settings for the local content and intranet files.

It has nothing to do with what your visitors will see on your site when you publish. IE will not prevent your HTML5 video from displaying on your website.
