yea these complications are caused by trying to use the concept of "maxSize" so
its geared against the larger size.. if we just use the height.. there is no
control against a very very long video. 

But I agree it would be nice to be consistent with what we are tagging videos.
i.e 720P should be 720 high regardless of if its corresponding width is 1280
wide or 1269 in the case that you described. In extreme cases a 3x4 video will
be much less pixels than 720 width metric. 

Where people have more time an energy for such things, they have separate
profiles and bitrates for 3x4 than they do for 16x9 but I think we can get away
with just setting height and [auto] width, so that it correlates better with
our video tags / names.

And then maybe put in a sanity check that beyond that. Something like
height=>720 maxWidth=>1400
