Answer 1

Here is a fiddle

I used green overlay for the demo.

CSS

.videoContainer {
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    //padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    background-attachment: scroll;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.videoContainer video {
    min-width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}
.videoContainer .overlay {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 2;
    background: green;
    opacity: 0.5;
}
