Video Background for a section in a parallax site - any ideas?

HI! I have been trying two days to find a way to use a video as a background for one of the sections in a parallax site I am designing. Its the last section and I have a really great video I want to showcase. I have tried the jquery video BG plugin, but when I do it totally messes up the other images in the site.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Thanks Gary

Well, if you are using HTML5, try the video tab, see W3C details about it. Most of the browsers support this (Chrome, Firefox, IE and Opera as well).
