    Your embeds are defaulting to 500px wide. You can change this with tweaks to the embed code.
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

    Specify the desired width using a shortcode like this:
    [embed width="600"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdJc1_IBKJA[/embed]

    600px matches the top video on your page. Try 700px to match your content container.
    Height will be automatically proportional if not specified in the shortcode.

    Choose your next site design from over 350 Genesis themes.

    Adding this to functions.php

    // Embed width
    if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) $content_width = 730;
