ffmpeg convert mov file to mp4 for HTML5 video tag IE9

I looked everywhere here and on google - there is no valid command that works for IE9. some how IE9 is missing something. All that I tried worked everywhere else: chrome,safari,mobile device etc... I want one command that will convert it and I can use it in every device suppose to support mp4 in HTML5 video tag.

I use this commands:

ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy out.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vcodec libx264 -vprofile high -preset slow -b:v 500k -maxrate 500k -bufsize 1000k -vf scale=-1:480 -threads 0 -acodec libvo_aacenc -b:a 128k -pix_fmt yuv420p outa.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie.mov -b:V 1500k -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -g 30 adel.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie.mov -acodec aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 160k -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -f mp4 -crf 22 lamlam.mp4
ffmpeg -i movie.mov -acodec aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 160k -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -profile:v baseline -level 30 -maxrate 10000000 -bufsize 10000000 -f mp4 -threads 0 adiel.mp4

etc.. again all this commands produce a valid mp4 file which works on chrome,safari etc... and works even when I launch them in windows itself using window media player. When I put this file in the video tag (I am using http://videojs.com/) in IE9 it isn't working !

<div class="vidoco-content" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<video id="divVid" class="video-js vjs-default-skin vidoco-center" controls preload="none" width="600" height="400" poster="<?php echo(DOMAIN); ?>static/test.jpg">
    <source src="<?php echo(DOMAIN); ?>static/out.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

If I use the software miro video converter to convert the same mov file to mp4 - it converted fine and I can play it in IE9! miro converter is also using embedd ffmpeg inside it so I am sure it's only a metter of the right ffmpeg command and parameters. In my apache htaccess I set the correct mime types for my files and I see it indeed correct when looking in IE developer tools:

AddType audio/aac .aac
AddType audio/mp4 .mp4 .m4a
AddType audio/mpeg .mp1 .mp2 .mp3 .mpg .mpeg
AddType audio/ogg .oga .ogg
AddType audio/wav .wav
AddType audio/webm .webm

AddType video/mp4 .mp4 .m4v
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/webm .webm

I am struggling with this for a long time so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

For ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i {input}.mov -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -strict -2 {output}.mp4

You may also add the -q:v/-q:a parameter to specify the quality of the video. You may also use HandBrake which is a simpler encoder than ffmpeg.

For HandBrake:

handbrakecli -i {input}.mov -e x264 -E facc -o {output}.mp4

EDIT: I found the solution! Here is a ZIP with a working demo that I tested on IE 9 and Firefox!

Also, the above demo has a flash fallback, so it should work on IE8 and less.

Same ffmpeg command used.
EDIT: I had to re-upload the video, since my hosting service is down for now. Now it is hosted on mediafire. I found they are the best file sharing service. Minimum ads, no registration, no 30 sec wait.

Also, check out this discussion on the videojs website: http://help.videojs.com/discussions/problems/1020-ffmpeg-command-produce-your-demonstration-video.

VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure to click the 'Allow Active Content' button to allow the video when running locally!

Video of the problem I have and my solution: See my demo mentioned above.

HTML code used while testing:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

</body>
</html>

I analyzed a working test video that w3schools provides (it works on IE), and I found out that they used HandBrake to encode the video.
