when I view the page (latest FF and Chrome), the video is on the left, menu upper right, text below the menu.

You have the <p> in the div that contains the video, that's why it's under the vid.

I'd put the video div first and float it left. The menu div next float right. The text in it's own div with the same style as the menu. A fast look at it:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Transition</title>
<style type="text/css">

	width: auto;
	margin-top: 20px;
	margin-right:50px;
	border-top-style: none;
	border-right-style: none;
	border-bottom-style: none;
	border-left-style: none;
	position: relative;
	list-style-type: none;
	display:inline-block;
	font-family:"monaco", monospace;
	float:right;
}
</style>
