Screenshot of video element using phantomjs

Question

I am trying to take a screenshot of page with a video element using phantomjs. Currently, i set the time of the video ahead to some desired seconds (i.e. 60). Then I use page.render(output). However, the screenshot created is always black. Can anyone see the problem or verify if what Im trying to do is possible?

Running the features.js example (using modernizr.js), you will see
