the videos do not play

believe actually, it is not a problem with Firefox. The MIMETYPE that is
sent by the HTTP server clearly specifies to the browser that it should
decode the sent content (the htm file in this case) as a plain text,
which Firefox does. IE apparently overrides the HTTP MIMETYPEs with a
mimetype contained in the file itself. According to W3C HTTP standards,
the HTTP requests mimetypes shall always take precedence.

how to decode it.

known file extensions to appropriate mimetype such as *.jpg ->
mimetype/image-jpeg. Apparently, the *.htm and *.html entries are either
missing, either put as text/plain.
Use e.g. "svn propset svn:mime-type image/jpeg file.jpg" on each file in
the working copy, followed by "svn commit", to give it the correct MIME
type in the repository.
You can use automatic properties (auto-props) to automate the setting of
svn:mime-type and other properties when new files are added on the
client.
You can write a pre-commit hook to reject commits that add files with
improper or missing MIME types.
P.S: You don't need to Cc me on your Subversion questions. If I have the
time and knowledge to answer them, I'll do so on the mailing list.
