Answer 1

The Responsive Embed classes only set the aspect-ratio (use .embed-responsive-16by9 for a 16x9 video and .embed-responsive-4by3 for a 4x3 one). They'll take up 100% of the width of their containing block.

In order to give them a width, you'll only need to add a container, for example .sizer, that has a width set.

.sizer {
  width: 300px;
}

<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<div class="sizer">
  <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
    <video src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" autoplay controls></video>
  </div>
</div>

Another option is to add it inside a Bootstrap grid like this

<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-12">
      <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
        <video src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" autoplay controls></video>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Never try to add the width and height properties directly to the element with the class .embed-responsive as that will break its responsiveness. It is not needed to add .embed-responsive-item unless you want an item different from iframe, embed, object or video.

Go grab fitvids js and as long as you start with width and height dimensions fitvids will make that video responsive: http://fitvidsjs.com
