About WordPress Auto-embeds
WordPress has a nifty auto-embed feature, allowing authors to automatically turn a link to a video embed into a video player when a post is viewed. To turn this feature on check theAuto-embeds check box in Administration > Settings > Media SubPanel.
Under the hood
Please note that this plugin modifies the output of modify_embed_output filter, adding HTML & CSS to make the magic happen.
Credit for the method used in this plugin goes to Anders M. Andersen for crafting the method used to gracefully resize the embeds.
