I really like the element on the "Portfolio Eye Candy" home page of your Salient demo site where there's a full-screen video background over which you've laid text. The client for which I'm building a new site using Salient wants to have the same design element/technique on his site. My concern is that the video he wants to use comes in three sizes and only one of them is large enough to fill the entire screen, but that file is 1.1 GB which is HUGE. Here's the link to the video he wants: http://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-7244416-stock-footage-morning-in-the-forest-the-sun-s-rays-pass-through-trees.html?src=id/0. I am worried that using such an ENORMOUS video would cause the page load time to be WAY too long to be practical.
What suggestion do you have for how to implement what the client wants without killing page load time and using more than half of the hard drive space that's included with their web hosting account?

Hey,
Simply pass the video through the online convertor as mentioned in the user-guide and it should work alright.
Thanks
