I am trying to incorporate an html5 video (using the video tag) with 100% width and 100% height to play in the background. I have seen an example using an image, but I want to achieve the same effect with a video. Here is the code I have so far:
#video {
background-video: url("video.mp4");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
CodePen Link: http://codepen.io/example
Consider giving this a shot:
header {
position: relative;
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
height: 100vh;
z-index: 0;
}
header h1 {
text-align: center;
font: 3em/1.4 helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
color: #fff
}
header video {
-webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-o-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
z-index: -100;
}<header>
<h1>Example Title</h1>
<video autoplay loop class="bg-video">
<source src="https://d2v9y0dukr6mq2.cloudfront.net/video/preview/abstract-rainbow_wjpctkdes__PM.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</header>This method will maintain the aspect ratio and centralize the video within the container.

Trust it proves useful :)
To achieve this effect, you can simply set the min-height and min-width to 100%. For example:
#video {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
You may need to make adjustments for responsiveness.
Take a look at this jsfiddle.
Edit:
If you want the video to be centered as well, wrap it in a container like this:
#video-wrap {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#video {
position: absolute;
top: -9999px;
bottom: -9999px;
left: -9999px;
right: -9999px;
margin: auto;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}<div id="video-wrap"><video id="video">
<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
</div>Here's another jsfiddle for reference.
Adjustments
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
No need for width: 100%, it simply expands to accommodate a div's content.
Setting the height of HTML and BODY to 100% makes it easy.
