The Resize Vimeo pluggin for WordPress does exactly what you would expect — it resizes Vimeo videos. I created this plugin, because I plan to start doing some more videos and I wanted any videos that I post on this site to look good. I really like how the Vimeo player looks, but the standard width only goes about half way across the content area they they’re in right now. I thought this looked really tacky, so I decided to experiment and see if it was possible to make the player bigger. Turns out that the player actually gets bigger very nicely.

This plugin gets the current dimensions of the video you post and increases them to a set width and increases the height accordingly, keeping the same width-height ratio as the original player.

This is a very early version. There is no admin menu. The plugin currently resizes all videos to a width of 776 pixels. If that’s not what you want, I don’t recommend you install this plugin yet.

I just put this together tonight and will be adding an admin menu sometime soon, so that you can set what you want the width of the videos to be. I’d also like to know if anybody has an recommendations for the plugin that they’d like to see.
