Full-page video background and its effect on SEO?

[Nimbus3000]

Hi,

we're planning on implementing a full-page video as our homepage's background.

In addition to the effect on page loading time, are there any other SEO issues this could cause?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Load times and compatibility are the only real concerns. Neither of those should be a problem if the sites still works well and looks good without the video loading.

I've seen this working really well on some sites (admittedly quite badly on others).  It's a great way to make a site stand out when done well though and that can be an SEO win in it's own right.
