Youtube videos however always embed in the middle column. Why the difference?
I had a similar problem, Vimeo looked good, YouTube looked well, wrong.
For me it was a plugin conflict. Have you tried deactivating all of your plugins?
Your problem was solved after deactivating plugins?

Yes. I think it was a lightbox plugin that I didn’t even use.
Or it could be your theme, but deactivating all the plugins and testing is a quick thing to do.
If it does work, reactivate your plugins one at a time until the problem comes back. That will let you identify which plugin it is.
If it’s not a plugin, then can you share a link to your site? It may help figure out what’s going on.
I deactivated all plugins and see no improvement. Here’s an example link:

I’m missing it: the only YouTube video on that page for me is in the middle column before everything else in the post.
Where were you expecting it to be? In the sidebar?
Look how vimeo fills up the entire upper portion (I don’t know what to say to that area?) before everything else:

When I try to do the same with Youtube and choose “before everything else” it automatically reverts to “middle column”:

Sometime it does not do that reversion but then there’s a big empty space above. Right now strangely it doesn’t do that.
Here’s a wordpress site which is able to embed a youtube video in large screen format:

I try to embed the same video but it is always small:
http://naturedocumentaries.org/1793/plants-cool-too/
Why I can’t embed in large format as I do in vimeo? Why?
