Just a comment on this - I've used HTML5 video for a full-screen background and it works a treat - but make sure to use either Height:100% and width:auto or the other way around - to ensure you keep aspect ratio.

As for Ipads -you can (apparently) do this, by having a hidden and then forcing the click event to fire, and having the function of the click event kick off the Load/Play().

P.s - this shouldn't require any plugins and can be done with minimal JS - If you're targeting any mobile device (I would assume you might be..) staying away from any such framework is the way forward.
