Are you sure there is a user eating popcorn?
Are there any 0-day exploits in your video system?
Is that middle box doing the right thing?

The main problem I see with your proposal is that it adds complexity.  
Everybody using TLS will now have to consider what happens if your option gets 
enabled and/or how to make sure that it doesn't get enabled.  Security is 
complicated.  Making it more complicated is a step in the wrong direction.


Does your popcorn eating user need TLS as all?
