  I noticed yesterday (1/14/11) that the size of the vimeo videos on my blog have suddenly changed. They were always embedded as 400px in width and now they’ve suddenly changed to a bigger size (about 650px in width) that doesn’t fit my wordpress template.

  Does anyone know how to change the size back to it’s original 400px size?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I found a temporary solution where I’d have to manually change the embed code for each video posted on my blog. Please let me know if there’s another way to get vimeo embedded videos posted to their original size.

  Here is the manually typed code if anyone else is having trouble

  [vimeo http://vimeo.com/numberofpage w=400&h=300]

  Chose the original 400px width and 300px height seems to keep the embedded video size proportioned since vimeo is a 4:3 player.

  @irollny

  I am sorry to inform you that you will need to manually change the video size each time you embed a video and would like it to be smaller than the default size…
