Video Formatting

[Peter Propp]

Hi -- for some reason, whenever I post a video from youtube, the video shows up with the right 1/3 cut off. I've let this go int he past, but it looks really unprofessional.

I've tried a bunch of the plug-ins. none of them seem to work.

The only way I can get video to show is by copying the embed code and pasting it within the html portion of the wordpress posting interface.

Can someone please straighten me out? It feels like it may be an HD issue. Like I'm missing a setting to accept videos of the HD aspect ratio...so frustrating

An example of this video issue is at: http://www.peterpropp.com/?p=434

Thanks.

It looks fine now. I'd recommend using something like Viper's Video Quicktags which lets you configure a maximum width for all the videos you enter. You can actually do this without a plugin too, go to Settings > Media and set the video file width.

You should read up on this more in the Codex and other pages in WordPress.org as this is not really a Cutline issue.
