trying to make a video my background

I tried so far putting a video folder in fj and adding 

<video >
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

If you're going to reference a locally-stored video in a Rails app, you need to put it somewhere in the /app/assets directory.

Take a look at this Stack Overflow answer that addresses the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8146619

From there, you can try referencing the filename in the <video> tag as you did in your example.
