Cindy,
My first instinct follows the logic of your first point; less is better. So I'd
say number two. However, in the past, I've had issues with browsers
implementing a consistent height's on video's (which could very well have been
related to any number of things, the browser, Vimeo, or even WordPress, I
suppose, I didn't have time to find out) when one isn't provided. How reliable
are browsers at keeping correct aspect ratios with video?
