Description:

The background video on the KodePilot login page (https://kodepilot.in/login/) starts playing slowly or with significant delay, creating a poor user experience during the initial page load. This affects the visual presentation and may impact perceived page performance.

Visual Context

The section displays:

Login page interface with background video element
Video content intended to play immediately upon page load
Form elements overlaying the background video
Branding and authentication components

Expected Behavior

Background video should load and start playing within 1-2 seconds of page load
Video should begin playback smoothly without stuttering
Initial frames should display quickly to avoid blank or static background
Video should load progressively without blocking other page elements
Page should remain responsive during video initialization
Video playback should be optimized for various connection speeds

Actual Behavior

Background video starts playing with noticeable delay
Video loading time is slower than expected
Initial page load shows blank or static background before video starts
User experience is degraded during the loading phase
Video may stutter or buffer during initial playback
Overall page load perceived performance is impacted

Reproduction Steps

Navigate to https://kodepilot.in/login/
Clear browser cache and cookies (optional but recommended for consistent testing)
Reload the page with network throttling (optional: test on slower connections)
Observe the background video loading behavior
Note the following:

Time taken for first frame to appear
Delay between page load and video playback start
Any stuttering or buffering during initial seconds
Overall visual presentation during load phase
