    If you want to keep using muse, then do not use Dreamweaver to change the generated code. All of your input should be done using Muse.

    To answer your original question, have a look at Responsive HTML5 Video Widget | MusePen.com Blog

    I have unmarked the 'correct answer' from Nancy's post because it did not answer your problem.

    Although you are very welcome here, for Muse related problems, please use the Muse Forum, mainly because Muse is a compiler that produces the markup. Modified compiled versions can never be used with Muse again.

    If you're not using bootstrap, the css and html for a responsive video can be done pretty easily. In the example below, there are padding-bottom settings for the usual video aspect ratios. Comment out or delete the ones you don't need...

    CSS:

    .video-container {

        /* Place youtube <iframe> or <video> code, minus html height and width attributes, in <div class="video-container"> */

        /* the only thing that can go in the container is the video or iframe code, no other elements */

        position: relative;

        padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */

        /* padding-bottom: 66.66%; /* 3:2 */

        /* padding-bottom: 75%; /* 4:3 */

        height:0;

    }

    .video-container * {

        position: absolute;

        width: 100%;

        height: 100%;

    }

    HTML:

    <div class="video-container">
    your embed code (from youtube) or html5 <video> tag here (no html height or width attributes)

    </div>

    This is actually being done in Muse.  No Bootstrap.  What code can I use?  The MP4 is Global instead of fluid.   Adobe had suggested that I use SWF. That produced two problems.  The first was that it did not have any controls, the second, in order of appearance , was that most mobile devices cannot see it.  It was suggested that I use a widget from the library, it was antiquated and required archival JAVA.  That means I will just be in another problem not resolve my problems.

    I have another problem that I know you can also resolve for me.  When I put the metadata in it shows on the page.  I have tried colins, semicolons, extra spaces and keep getting the same results.  I tried to contact the Muse forum but have not received any response.  You are the code specialists.

    With Bootstrap?  Use the embed-responsive class.  There are 2 different classes depending on the aspect ratio of your video  --  4by3 or 16by9.

    4:3 Responsive Aspect Ratio (your MP4 video)

    <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-4by3">
    <video class="embed-responsive-item">
    <!--replace this sample with your video-->
    <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
    </div>

    16:9 Responsive Aspect Ratio (your MP4 video)

    <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
    <video class="embed-responsive-item">
    <!--replace this sample with your video-->
    <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>

    </div>
