You need to move the video folder out of the App_Data file because ASP.NET doesn't allow content to be served from there. Then you provide the URL of the video, so if you move it to /Videos/filename.mp4, the Url will be:

@Html5Video.Create(mp4Url:"   "~/Videos/filename.mp4",width:320,height:240)

i tried the @Html5Video.Create(mp4Url:" "~/Videos/filename.mp4",width:320,height:240)

the error was no file found with supported formate and mimetype.

the file name in Videos folder also contain .mp4 extension. i then tried this but the same error occured.

@Html5Video.Create(mp4Url:@"~/Videos/FileName",width:320,height:240)

no file found with supported formate and mimetype.

You need to make sure you  create a folder called Videos and that you provide a valid file name where I have put "filename.mp4".
