widescreen embedded videos cut off

Widescreen videos from youtube get displayed with a bunch of the right side out of view, due to the fact that the embedded window is not widescreen.

Is this a limitation of the BBcode or what? I’ve been opening videos into a new window for a long time figuring it would annoy one of you staff members enough to fix it but i finally am sick of doing that.

what’s the deal?

hey, while we’re at it, is there any way we can switch to embedding the HTML5 version of youtube vids as opposed to flash?

do i need to emphasize how much donkey dick flash sucks, and how much better HTML5 is?
