IE7 IE8 Your browser does not support the media format (Projekktor Core)

"Sorry, Your browser does not support the media format of the requested file."

On IE 7-8 Projekktor will fail to load media url from <source /> tags when scripts like Modernizr or HTML5 Shiv are present.

Solution without sacrifice either Modernizr, HTML5 Shiv or similar ones is to use the API to load media, or use a simple <video ... src="...." type="...." /> tag without the various <source src="..." type="..." /> tags.

For some reason projekktor-1.0.24r90 cannot load them correctly when these scripts optimize the DOM to use HTML5 new tags/features on old browsers.

This is a Bug that should be considered into new releases.
