Vine images are not captured #27

PhantomJS doesn't support the video element used by Vine. However, the element has a background image that should be rendered. Here's the error:

phantomjs js/rasterize.js 'https://vine.co/v/MptEQIxbUzh'
RenderDelayTimeout: 2000
Console Message: Player initialization failed. [object HTMLElement]

This just won't work with the current version of PhantomJS. It might work with v2 (not yet released).
