This is a problem with the codecs.  We are creating the recording in 0.81 using 
WebM with VP8 for video and Vorbis for audio, and these formats are (currently) 
supported by FireFox and Chrome.  

You should be able to play them back in IE if you install the Google Frame.  See

   http://www.google.com/chromeframe

For more information see

  http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#What_browsers_support_playback

In short, our lives would be easier if the browsers all supported an open 
source audio and video codec, but they currently dont.

I had thought that as well Fred, but I have Chrome Frame installed. When you 
look at the console in IE as the recording page loads there are actually a 
couple of javascript errors that show up.

The errors that I'm getting in IE are:
Object doesn't support property or method 'hasAttribute' 
playback.js, line 162 character 5

Object doesn't support property or method 'getElementsByClassName' 
writing.js, line 136 character 3

Fixed here

But in order to get the playback working in IE you need
Chrome Frame http://www.google.com/chromeframe 
WebM Video for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+ 
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/webmmf 

Both are tools developed by Google
