The jQuery BigVideo.js plugin adds video to the page as a background image via the HTML5 Fullscreen API. The video is automatically stretched to any screen size. To work, you must first download the jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery libraries loaded libraries. Run:

$(function() { var BV = new $.BigVideo(); BV.init(); BV.show('http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4'); });

 $(function() { var BV = new $.BigVideo(); BV.init(); BV.show(['vid1.mp4','vid2.mp4','vid3.mp4'],{ambient:true}); });

 var BV = new $.BigVideo(); BV.init(); if (Modernizr.touch) { BV.show('video-poster.jpg'); } else { BV.show('video.mp4',{ambient:true}); }
