Hello Briannorwood,
I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.
This is unrelated to ExpressionEngine, it’s probably the way the embed is coded. Even though it has nothing to do with ExpressionEngine, if you want to paste in your code I can take a look and see if I spot anything.
Cheers!

It’s stripping out the JS due to security filters. As Shane notes- this is really unlikely to be an EE specific issue. Here’s what I’d do to figure it out. Put the video on a plan html page completely outside of EE. Does it work? If not- debug there until it works. This doesn’t look like a youtube embed or something- are you using your own player? Check those forums/FAQs/Docs- odds are really really good this has happened to someone else.
If it DOES work in the html, stick it all, hard coded, into a template. Does it still work? It should, unless somehow a path is wrong or something.
Once it works hard coded into a template? Time to make it dynamic- and use tags to output the path to the m4v and any titles, etc. Again- do this on a simplified template. If it doesn’t work dynamically- compare the source of that page to the working hard coded template. That will make it easy to see the differences.
Make sense?
