I tried a couple of YouTube set sizes options:
- the smallest is 560 x 340, which is a little wider than the column;
- the next YouTube set size for embedding a video is 640 x 385, which is the size A chose, and which noticeably hangs over.
Finally, I used a custom setting = 490 x 300
The size is 490 x 300, which is a custom setting size that looks about right.
I would suggest using this size for any embedded video.
And I didn't choose the video at random. Michael Sandel, a political philosopher at Harvard University, is a reliably brilliant and thought provoking lecturer; I also thought that what democracy needs is something in which you might be interested, it having been much discussed in Thailand of late.

It is a bit small, but those who want the big version for a bit can click the full screen button.
ReplyDeleteTowards the end of his talk, Sandel also makes a point that seems to me very relevant to the issue of respecting other people and their beliefs in the discussion that Book and I had on the morality of eating meat at "Opposing Stephen Law: final comments".
