Dimensions of Youtbe embedded video
-
Hi,
I embedded a youtube video onto my page using the syntax explained in http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/, but I can’t resize the video so that it does’t span across the max width of my page.I saw another user posted about this issue, but he had no answer:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/resize-embedded-youtube-video?replies=1#post-951835As he wrote, I tried the options such as this to specify my video size:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaNH56Vpg-A&w=320&h=240]
But this doesn’t work: the youtube videostill span across the full page in the middle, and only the size of the video within the youtube area is changed. i.e., you see black section on either side of the video.
Is it possible to change the size of the actual embedded youtube area? Thanks

HI,
this is the url with the vyoutbe video:http://jordiapollonia.wordpress.com/portfolio/austria-turismo/
…but in the meantimeI think I found the reason of my problem here:
It looks like if I want to manage this issue with my Illustratr theme I should upgrade to Custom Design.
Isn’t it? -
I see the youtube here displayed at full size for your theme. It cannot be any wider than the theme itself is http://jordiapollonia.wordpress.com/portfolio/austria-turismo/

Yes, i understand that.
In fact, for me it’s too wide, and I’d like to set an inferior width, because as you can see the video quality is not very good at full size.If I’m not wrong, the theme width is 840px; so, I’d like to set the video width to 600px, for example. But I can’t do that, because youtube shortcodes don’t work.

Hi there!
The other thread you linked to is correct. On Portfolio pages, all videos are stretched to full width.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful. Please let me know if you have more questions!

Thanks shawnajroberts,
I think I’ll keep my site as it is, in the end this video issue could have been worse :-)
