You could extend your page model and add some File fields for the video

static $has_one = array(
'VideoOgg' => 'File',
'VideoMp4' => 'File',
'VideoPlaceholder' => 'Image'
);

add the fields to the CMS,

public function getCMSFields()
  {
  $f = parent::getCMSFields();

  $f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Video", 
  new FileIFrameField('VideoOgg', 'Upload .ogv Video'));

  $f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Video", 
  new FileIFrameField('VideoMp4', 'Upload .mp4 Video'));

  $f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Video", 
  new ImageField('VideoPlaceholder', 'Upload Placeholder Image'));

  return $f;
  }

and then place the video tag into your template

<% if VideoOgg %>
<video controls width="600" height="400" <% if VideoPlaceholder %>poster="$VideoPlaceholder.URL"<% end_if %>>
  <source src="$VideoOgg.URL" type="video/ogg">
  <% if VideoMp4 %>
  <source src="$VideoMp4.URL" type="video/mp4">
  <% end_if %>
  <!-- Flash Fallback -->
</video> 
<% end_if %>

You can get a lot fancier, this just a simple example.
