Using standard HTML5 coding in a very simplistic manner the top and bottom of the player do not align with the poster image. If I use CSS to control the player size, or the poster size the top and bottom align, but the right and left edges warp out of square shape.

The simple code: 

    <br>
     <video controls poster="PCYC.png" width="500" >
	  <source src="JazzClubVideo-4.mp4" type="video/mp4">
	  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
    <br>

See attached image for an example.

Hi

This sounds more like a web development question than a support issue with Firefox.

I recommend that you contact the developer community at Stack Overflow who should be able to help you with this.
