Make YouTube Links Automatically in iFrames

Usually YouTube links appear in thumbnails and when the thumbnail is clicked, the object expands shifting content around to accommodate the larger window. I'd love the ability to embed YouTube videos from the Rich Text Editor in a reasonably sized iFrame (maybe 640x480?).

Are you talking about something like this?

It is possible to have the videos start in an iframe, if you are comfortable with adding them in the html editor.  I agree that it would be nice to be able to insert any youtube videos and other https content directly into an iframe (and control the size of that iframe) within the Rich Text Editor.  This makes it possible to design the page for content of an expected size, rather than have everything expand when the video is played.
