Okay, I just wanted to be sure you knew what all three options were. Best wishes with your CSS editing. :)

I´ve already purchased the css upgrade, and I will resize the ambiru theme, as I really like it´s simplicity.

You have two options.
Option 1 - Purchase an annually renewable CSS editing upgrade and resizie the Ambiru theme to accomdate the videos.

Option 2 - Change to a theme that will accommodate the large videos. If that's the option you select then please see here for alternative themes you could choose to use > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/maximum-image-width/

I think I will resize the hole thing, as I really want my youtube videos (which are very important in my posting) to be big enough.

You will need to have the video resized smaller to fit the width of your current theme. There is no way you can display the video at 640 pixels wide without it being cut off or without increaing the overall width of your main column for every page of your blog.

I would recommend resizing the video to 450px which should work just fine in your theme. To do this use the code I posted above but change the URL to the desired youtube video.

I do resize the video... but it´s cut off because the theme is 500px width. I don´t think I can resize the video to 640 width having a theme with a limit of 500px width....

It's really your only option.

You can specify the width using the youtube shortcode:

[youtube=http://URL&w=450]

what I want to do is to be able to insert a youtube video inside a page (not the home page) with a width of 640, but it´s automatically cut off because the width of the theme is limited to 500px.

so... could I insert a video of 640px width even with this 500px limit and that the video were not cut off?? ...using some css trick???

I know that if I change the global width I am able to do it, but I would like to keep it in 500px.

just one more question, as I change the width of everything I see all my blog is moved to the right of the screen,

how can I put it again in the center?? (just in case I decide to resize the global width)

thanks a lot from madrid!!!

You could slightly widen the content of a specific page but it'll still fit within the 500 pixel-wide wrapper.

Widening the width of the main column can only be done for the overall blog.
