SOLVED: The issue here was actually the hosting account - godaddy.
Godaddy does not by default serve .webm or .ogv/ogg and using .httaccess doesn't do anything. You instead need to create a web.config file and add in this code:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".EXTENSION" mimeType="TYPE/SUBTYPE" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
for example I added:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".ogv" mimeType="video/ogg" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".webm" mimeType="video/webm" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
