Possible?  Of course, all the source code is available.  :-)
Available?  I haven't done it, but I can see a possible way to do so.
The screensaver is just a program.  So, it should be possible to replace

when it catches a keystroke, kill the video player, and continue on
with the recovery of the screen.

This sounds easy enough that if you search the web, you should find
someone who has done it already.

And it seems someone has:
