Would it help adding a<link rel="prefetch"> to the first video in the page?
In Firefox, yes. Does anyone else implement that? If it's only Firefox, we could just as well replace Cortado with<video autobuffer> to begin with as soon as the page loads. In Chrome and Safari, we don't even need the autobuffer, since they don't implement it. (Actually,<video autobuffer preload=auto> would be the current way to do it, given recent spec changes.)
I hope no one is ever insane enough to use this. Imagine those people with cellphones and no data transfer flat (~70% of mobile internet users) - their bills will skyrocket when even a single video is set to auto-preload.

Hopefully browsers on phones and low-bandwidth devices could just ignore this attribute.
