Don't change the monitor parameter (1 seems to be the right one for you); change the layer parameter.

Fantastic !!! -after a super quick test I'm happy to report its working well. :)
test code: <video src="video/intro.mp4" layer="19" height="420" width="1920" alpha="1" monitor="1" volume="0" y="center" x="center" yOrigin="center" xOrigin="center">
