Embedding Tutorials in Libguides:

I believe this may have been discussed previously, but I cannot locate that earlier post.
I'd like to use some of the ANTS tutorials (http://www.screencast.com/users/ants/folders/Da tabase%20Tutorials) as embedded video on my libguides, but the videos are too large to fit into the center column boxes. I've edited the width and height in the code, and while this does reduce the size it also only makes that small portion of the video visible. Has anyone figured out a trick or how-to to making these videos smaller without losing any of the visual content?"

To answer the Question, one thing you can do if you are using Libguides it to use our tutorials at LION TV (see http://Liontv.blip.tv/ ) It not only has embedding code - the dimensions of which you can alter - it has more. In particular, you can embed these tutorials and then use the Full Screen Toggle to bring up the full screen in a separate window (thereby making it larger and not losing any content.)

I embedded several in my libguides. You can see them at:

I do hope this helps.
