Video Element Doesn't Find Local Video

I realize this is almost certainly a novice question. I'm trying to test an MP4 video on my computer using VIDEO element. In <source I have the full fileid of the folder on my disk that contains the video (the highest level folder also contain the html file):
src="/folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/Video/videoname.MP4 followed by type="video/mp4">
But when I press "Play" on the controls nothing happens. The video doesn't play.
I also have Poster="/folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/images/imagename.jpg" but the poster image isn't displayed.
I would appreciate someone telling me what I'm doing wrong.
