Christina, Regarding backing up to iCloud, yes I am positive that I don't have a large video. I don't have any videos on my phone. I was able to restore all my stuff from iCloud to the new 6S last night, it just took a few hours. The process of doing a restore was not immediately clear to me so I updated to iOS 9.0.2, did a reset, and erase all data and settings on the phone. Then restoring from iCloud was not a problem. This was probably the long way around on my part, but I did have a brand new 6S and wouldn't really lose anything important.
