Sitecore Media library not compatible with iOS?

I'm having a problem playing correctly encoded video on an iOS device. Here are some details / info:

  • We use jwPlayer to play
  • Video plays perfectly through flash and HTML5
  • The video was encoded using the default zencoder settings.
  • We serve video from the same server that runs on iOS devices (but this site is not Sitecore)
  • Video plays on my iPad while syncing via Dropbox

After some research and some help from the great support staff at Zencoder, we believe that the problem may be related to the headers (the top video does not work, the bottom works fine):
