Really simple ask: Does anyone have experience with the
<video>View SourceThat first video file seems broken — grey bar, squished into the top left. Is that just placeholder?
Also — can I just write a stylesheet, or do you need the styling to be stuffed into that markup language? If the former, I can help.

You can see that the source video is bad by downloading it and rendering it on something like Quicktime/VLC/Window Media Player.
You can see the same thing happens in the source.

To fix this you may need to import the file into a video editing program or use something like ffmpeg and expand and clip so that the content fills the entire frame.

Thanks @Blad Tellez!!!
@Ivan Reese nope! I just need the actual file and saw internet archive had it.
I will see if I can get a better copy now
Thank you both so much!
I just pinged Internet archive to see if they could host the better version (I don't think you can embed a youtube file directly right? you have to use their video player with ads?)
