Don't have the video auto-reply/loop. Just play once.
Also I would tweak the demo video so that you're explaining what problems the product solves and how the product helps rather than explain how to use the product. There are some lines such as "Notice when you view this page your cursor is in the first form field automatically. You can just start typing" that I don't think really help to sell the product. I say just use the product while you explain how the product helps the user and why the user should use it.
TC has two pretty good articles on how to demo a product:

PS/OT - For future reference, what did you use the create the demo video?
- nonrecursive 18y agoThanks for those articles, they'll definitely help me create a better demo video. I definitely approached it from a "weeeee I finally feel like I can show this to other people look what I did" standpoint whether than a more marketing standpoint. Here's what I used: Samson CO1U mic: http://www.amazon.com/Samson-C01U-Recording-Podcasting-Pak/dp/B000H4MZU2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1226177489&sr=8-2 http://www.amazon.com/Samson-C01U-Recording-Podcasting-Pak/d...
