You could use the rocketboom rocket. That signals 'go out to the web' to  
me. I've seen circles and squares with arrows pointing out of them used on  
websites as well. You can make the bug hidden until the viewer hovers  
their mouse over the video, but that'd mean more scripting for you.

And the image don't have to be placed over the video of course. It can be  
a horizontal bar between the video and the controller for example (that  
option is most likely best solved with SMIL because it's easier to  
automate, and you don't have to encode a new version of the video).
