I'm looking to embed some youtube videos in my web page and from looking at the videos on youtube they all seem to be displayed with an aspect ration of 16:9 or 640px:340px.
Trouble is I only have 600px max space to put them in, would I just work out the appropriate height i.e. 640/16*9 = 333px and display them in that and would that take care of everything ,or is there any other size allocated for the progress bar at bottom.
E.g. if you look at this video you can see the progress bar throughout.

Thanks,
You can choose either 16:9 or 4:3, the later being 480px X 385px (+25px to height for controls).
OR, if you want 16:9, you can choose the size to be 560x315.
