Comment (by bradyvercher):

 Here's a thought based on the discussion earlier: What if the the video
 tag was rendered using JavaScript instead of being printed directly? Some
 JavaScript is going to be required for the play/pause button anyway.

 The header image would be printed in a container to serve as the default
 display. Then a script would determine if the video file could be played
 using the native browser API. If so, the image would be replaced with the
 video when it's ready to play.

 Going that route would allow some of the template tags in the patch to be
 dropped and could potentially allow the environment to be tested to decide
 whether or not the video should be displayed at all.
