Thanks for the info. I couldn't recall the name "aspect ratio", but that is what I was looking for: I had to convert all the videos on the Cannabis Wiki to using the Youtube extension due to this problem of lack of control of the width that occurred all of a sudden when the main video tool was changed awhile back. It used to be fantastic, and I just don't understand the logic of fixing the height instead of the width. No one has ever explained the reasoning to me that I can remember. See also: I just checked Facebook videos. Youtube videos embedded there fix the width when clicked, and not the height.
