This one is 16:9
YouTube only tells us if the video is close-ish to 16:9. So for now YouTube videos are presented as either 16:9 or 4:3.
This video is from Vimeo and has a super wide non-standard aspect ratio:
Vimeo supports pretty much any aspect ratio you give it. The Fluid Video Embeds plugin reads the dimensions from Vimeo’s API and then figures out the aspect ratio and preserves it.
This one is 2.39:1

Hiya folks!
Just wanted to let you know that your Fluid Video Embeds plugin was included in a round-up of responsive WordPress plugins today.
Here’s a link to the article: http://wpmu.org/16-cool-responsive-wordpress-plugins-for-images-and-videos/
Have a great day!

Thanks for including me in the roundup Patrick, it’s much appreciated.

Thanks for this. Does the plugin work for playlists?
Jamie Hamel-Smith
It’s not designed to, but depending on how the playlist is embedded, it might. What code are you using for your playlists?
Neal
I’ve tried both the embed code that you can get from the playlist’s page and the code you can get from the page of the first video of a playlist.

Will the plugin allow me to omit the Vimeo branding?
Jamie Hamel-Smith
No, the Vimeo branding is part of their agreement that allows you to use their service. I actually can’t and will not try to remove the branding. I believe that Vimeo’s Pro service allows this, but at that point you need to do a custom integration and you’ve already exceeded the ability of this plugin.
This plugin simply makes the videos stretchy (so they fit your layout) and reduces the video overlays for a less cluttered appearance (using YouTube’s and Vimeo’s available options).

that’s really neat scaling trick…nice…pretty useful for viewers using tablets and android phones…
ray
how / where, do you configure (how many videos on one line) ??
Plugin already installed, activated..
The is no configuration, which will allow me to embed FOUR YouTube videos on ONE Line.
does my blog HAVE to be on WordPress.org ???
Jamie Hamel-Smith
Hi Ray,
Yes this plugin only works for self hosted WordPress sites, so as long as you can install the plugin, it will work.
It doesn’t offer the option to show videos side by side. The demo page is just designed that way to show that the plugin allows the video to scale and fit the space that’s given to it, not just the full page width.
