title: ASP.NET MVC4 Media Source Url for HTML5 Video
body: <p>In my ASP.NET MVC 4, I want to stream video by using the HTML5 <code>&lt;video&gt;</code>. The video is stored at this location
  <code>D:\movie\test.mp4</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I put this location as source to the <code>&lt;video&gt;</code> tag? I tried:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;source src="@Url.Content(@"D:\movie\test.mp4")" type="video/mp4" /&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>but not working. If I add the files into my project, and do it like this, <code>&lt;source src="@Url.Content("~/Script/test.mp4")" type="video/mp4" /&gt;</code> it will work.</p>
  
  <p>What is the correct way of linking the source to the local file without having to put it in the project?</p>
  
  <p>Also, should the media files be served in the IIS? What is the best practice for this, supposed that the location of the media is pulled of a table in a database?</p>
