I explored this area also www.worksmc.com/video , there isn't a preloader so
it's jerky the first time through. Also explored zooming the 'video' which
worked fine too. Ignore the gif version as it did not work as well.

I used a free app called smacker which converts the frames of a qt or mov
file into bmp files, you can also extract the sound track and add it to the
frames.
