Also, in 4 the "video" would be twice as bright as normal


ok, lets think about it in terms of taking the pictures with the digital (or whatever) camera

in #1 you will be taking a pictures of the same image that is traveling with you with the same speed. so it will be a still frame (frozen)

on the way back (#4) your camera will take pictures that are greater time apart since you are going against the light that is fed to you.

In #1, even though the camera or your eye for that matter will not pick up the light that is traveling with you (it will be black), only because these devices rely on light as the main source of image. What if you use other devices that can catch the light particles that are traveling with you in step #1) so you can get a clear image, it would be still frozen and in step #4 faster the normal.
