The Video
The video has no audio, and displays the following text:

Solution
lhilt discovered that "Hacks" hinted to "Hex" (stands for Hexadecimal) and found a pattern in the numbers displayed on the video: Each number (aside from the first) is the decimal representation of the number preceding it, assuming the preceding number was a hexadecimal number.
Thus:
- 256 is the decimal representation of 100(hex)
- 598 is the decimal representation of 256(hex)
- 1432 is the decimal representation of 598(hex)
- …and so on…
This leads to the missing number at the end of the sequence:
- 19232884 is the decimal representation of 1257874(hex)
