When I have video selected as display type then the video module plays the converted / transcoded mp4 file. If I then select VideoJS as the display type it loads the original .mov file instead from the original folder and not the transcoded version.

I understand now that the issue was that when VideoJS is the display mode the file field looks to the original video uploaded and this causes the video not to play on Firefox as the .mov requires HTML5 playback and does not fallback to Flash. When selecting video module for video playback with VideoJS as the player for MP4 files, the file was playing in Safari but not Firefox despite the converted video being provided in the code. I have found out that this is because I had VideoJS version 3 installed which is not compatible with the module. On downgrading to version 2 from Github the MP2 converted video plays in Safari AND firefox, albeit with different players.

I experienced this as well, cost me 2 days as I jumped to a 7.x video project from a 6.x. This is surely not the expected result of this module I wouldn't think. Did other versions of the 7.x videojs project not do this?

7.x-1.10 Does this as well.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a bug in the video module itself. The Video.js module just plays what it receives from the Video module.

Fortina was right. In the meantime, I have released a new Video.js version to support v3 of the library. I have removed the ability to select vidro.js as the display widget for the video module, because the converted videos are only loaded when the video module invokes video.js. Also see #1447900: Video.js does not display transcoded files, only source.
