I'd rather see a fixed tab on the left or right that was less intrusive that allowed you to open a modal or slide in the video div. I do understand the video is the focal point and the ratio of any video is important to show something non-squished, I've been there, but as others on laptops and netbooks have mentioned the video div takes up nearly 45% of the vertical spacing and it's distracting as you get your bearings figuring out what's on the page. Perhaps the video should be nearly above the fold and it remains fixed once you get to it, until the next informational section similar to a table header? I live for solving these types of problems and it's a shame I don't run into them more in my work -- and at no time am I saying I have all of the answers.

Edit: I like what you are doing on mobile since you are hamstrung without many options, maybe on iPad portrait and wider you could go for a 2 column approach with the video on the left in a "sidebar" and the text flowing on the right? Again, just an idea. At any rate what you have is fine and gets the point across and I'm just being picky!
