FitVids is a lightweight, easy-to-use jQuery plugin for fluid width video embeds. It currently supports the major video vendors: YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, and a couple outliers.
The plugin is based on Chris’ pre-exising work on fluid videos and the Intrinsic Ratio method suggested by Thierry Koblentz (ALA #284). With these gems of knowledge combined with my ability to only make tiny jQuery plugins, getting your videos do aspect ratio-based resizing is now as easy as targeting your .container, .post, etc. with FitVids.
You can fork it on Github to dig in deeper into how it works. We’d love your feedback.
