Description greg 2015-03-02 16:09:44 PST 
if the poster attribute on a <video> element contains a missing file it will cause unwanted scaling of the video element. the height of the video will be the same as it's width. this causes a padding on the top and bottom of the element.
The issue is also visible until the image is loaded. This causes flashing.
