Load event delayed when using video and audio tags in html5

There is an audio and video component to the webpage I'm making. Additionally, I'm using google maps which has google.setOnLoadCallback which waits for the page to finish loading. My problem is that the google map is delayed showing up until the video and audio is loaded, which is kind of too long. Is there a way to make it so that the map will display before the video is done loading?

Ask the browser to either not load the audio/video or to load the metadata only using the preload attribute:

<video src="movie.mp4" preload="none"></video>

or

<video src="movie.mp4" preload="metadata"></video>

The audio element will accept that parameter also.
