title: Play infinitely looping video on-load in HTML5
body: <p>I'm looking to place a video in an HTML5 page that will begin playing on page-load, and once completed, loop back to the beginning without a break. The video should also <strong>NOT</strong> have any controls associated with it, and either be compatible with all 'modern' browsers, or have the option of a polyfill.</p>
  
  <p>Previously I would have done this via <code>Flash</code> and <code>FLVPlayback</code>, but I would prefer to steer clear of <code>Flash</code> in the HTML5 sphere. I'm thinking I could use javascript's <code>setTimeout</code> to create a smooth loop, but what should I use to embed the video itself? Is there something out there that will stream the video the way <code>FLVPlayback</code> would?</p>
