Streaming mp4 with vlc to html browser

I have problems streaming my webcam picture (without sound) to a html page. I'm using the latest (v2.0.2 vlc for windows) for streaming, here's the command line:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy  dshow:// --dshow-vdev="Logitech QuickCam Chat" --dshow-adev=none --dshow-caching=0 --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,channels=1,ab=128,samplerate=44100,width=320}:http{mux=ts,dst=:8080/webcam.mp4} 

when I open the stream in another vlc player (http://127.0.0.1:8080/webcam.mp4), I can watch the stream, but when I'm trying to embedding it to a webpage, I can see nothing! here's the code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Video Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <video id="video" class="projekktor" autoplay="autoplay" width="300px" preload="metadata">  
      <source src="http://127.0.0.1:8080/webcam.mp4" />
            Your browser doesn't appear to support the HTML5 <code>&lt;video&gt;</code> element.  
    </video>
  </body>
</html>

Than I'm trying to open it in the browser like:

file:///C:/videostreaming/video.html

What I can see in chrome example, is that there's network traffic, the stream is downloading, but nothing displayed.

you're telling VLC to stream in TS format mux=ts this is your problem, you need to mux in mp4
