Glad you got it worked out. I want to mention that you might want to address class/id scheme. You need to get way to specific to get at the video-container; even on a site with very complex mark-up, I would consider that way to specific. If you ever want the same styling on a separate page, you'd have to make sure that you have an iframe, within an element with a class of 'video-container', that is within a div, that is within a div, that is within a div with an id if 'content'. Whoa.
