I agree with _tasos for the fact that it will not be supported with IE8.

But yesterday I came to know about a workaround called html5shiv[^].

Quote:
The HTML5 Shiv enables use of HTML5 sectioning elements in legacy Internet Explorer and provides basic HTML5 styling for Internet Explorer 6-9, Safari 4.x (and iPhone 3.x), and Firefox 3.x.

So, you can try with htmlshiv.
Just include the file in your page and try the video tag, it may work.

Good Luck.

IE8 lacks the support for video playback, the html5shiv script helps only halfway.

You use the HTML5 tag video which is not supported in IE8.

See in this link which browsers support the video tag. http://caniuse.com/#search=video[^]

What is the problem here with this code? Is this for flash?

You need to try a flash video player such as JW player or Flow player. Check their website for code samples.
