    copied!<p>I'm trying to use <a href="http://apiblog.youtube.com/2009/10/oembed-support.html" rel="nofollow">Youtube's oEmbed functionality</a> to get a video embed at 960x580, but for some reason it seems to be maxing out at 740. Please see below:</p> <h3>Request:</h3> <pre><code>http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DbDOYN-6gdRE&amp;format=json&amp;maxwidth=960&amp;maxheight=580 </code></pre> <h3>Response:</h3> <pre><code>{ "provider_url": "http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/", "title": "1 of 4 Dr. Bill Lands on Cardiovascular Disease: Omega-6 displaces Omega-3", "html": "\u003cobject width=\"740\" height=\"580\"\u003e\u003cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/dgU3cNppzO0?version=3\"\u003e\u003c\/param\u003e\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/param\u003e\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\u003e\u003c\/param\u003e\u003cembed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/dgU3cNppzO0?version=3\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"740\" height=\"580\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/embed\u003e\u003c\/object\u003e", "author_name": "LatestNutrition", "height": 580, "thumbnail_width": 480, "width": 740, "version": "1.0", "author_url": "http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/LatestNutrition", "provider_name": "YouTube", "thumbnail_url": "http:\/\/i1.ytimg.com\/vi\/dgU3cNppzO0\/hqdefault.jpg", "type": "video", "thumbnail_height": 360 } </code></pre> <p>I've even tried using <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> parameters in place of / in addition to <code>maxwidth</code> and <code>maxheight</code>, but I still can't seem to get it larger than 740.</p> <p>Is there any way to get around this so I can get an embedded video at the dimensions I need them at?</p>
