I want to use a 4:3 video as a background on a site. However, setting the width and height to 100% doesn't work since the aspect ratio is kept intact, so the video doesn't fill the whole width of the site.
Here is my HTML and CSS code.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html land="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="html5video.css" />
<title>html 5 video test</title>
</head>
<body id="index">
<video id="vidtest" autoplay>
<source src="data/comp.ogv" type="video/ogg" width="auto" >
</video>
<div class="cv">
<p>

</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body
{
background-color:#000000;
}
#vidtest {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 200%;
height: 100%;
z-index: -1000;
}
.cv
{
width: 800px;
position:relative;
text-align:center;
margin-top: 100px;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-family:"Arial";
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 2em;
text-shadow: 3px 3px 2px #383838;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
What worked for me is
video {
object-fit: fill;
}
