The trick to make a youtube video autoresize is to make the iframe width 100% and put it in a div with a "padding-bottom" equal to the aspect ratio in percentage. E.g.

But the problem is - you would have a lot of pages with embedded YoutTube videos already. Here's a jquery plugin that will scan all videos on the page and make them resizable automatically by changing the iframe code to be as above. That means you don't have to change any code. Include the javascript and all your YouTube videos become autoresizing. https://skipser.googlecode.com/files/youtube-autoresizer.js
