title: large video html5 background
body: <p>I have an html5 video as a background here: <a href="http://expedition-design.com/dev/2ndmile/vid_test.html" rel="nofollow">http://expedition-design.com/dev/2ndmile/vid_test.html</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;video id="video_background" preload="metadata" autoplay="true" loop="loop" muted="muted" volume="0"&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>  </p>
  
  <p>The video is quite large (75mb or so) and a high quality (not certain if HD).</p>
  
  <p>My question is are there any ways to have it load faster/smoother? - for me on a wireless connection it has a hitch in it like a slow loading video.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts or ideas would be most welcomed.</p>
