I used this changes to functions.php that are written in this post: TED talks shortcode not working
But I can't figure out how to control the size/ratio now. The video is embedding as way taller than it is wide. Any fix for this??

You can control the size of the embedded TED video by using the shortcode:
[ted id="1650" width="300" height="200"]
If you want to have it predefined, you can use:
if(!isset($atts['width'])){
$atts['width']=600; // Default width
}
if(!isset($atts['height'])){
$atts['height']=400; // Default height
}
so the code here will be:
// Whitelist the TEDTalks oEmbed URL
wp_oembed_add_provider( 'http://www.ted.com/talks/*', 'http://www.ted.com/talks/oembed.json' );
function ted_shortcode( $atts ) {
// We need to use the WP_Embed class instance
global $wp_embed;
// width:
if(!isset($atts['width'])){
$atts['width']=600; // Default width
}
// height:
if(!isset($atts['height'])){
$atts['height']=400; // Default height
}
// The "id" parameter is required
if ( empty($atts['id']) )
return '';
// Construct the TEDTalk URL
$url = 'http://www.ted.com/talks/view/lang/eng/id/' . $atts['id'];
// Run the URL through the handler.
// This handler handles calling the oEmbed class
// and more importantly will also do the caching!
return $wp_embed->shortcode( $atts, $url );
}
add_shortcode( 'ted', 'ted_shortcode' );
