Hi Michael, I'll double check this tonight, and then post an update. It's probably easier if I include my CSS and HTML as well.
I think part of the issue is that I am currently using images as placeholder of where the video will go. The image size is far larger than the screen, but I was hoping that if I set the width to 100% and height 100% that they would use 100% of the div container they live in, rather than the page. I think this assumption of mine is wrong, or that I need to set some other CSS attribute to enforce it.
