Can't make my video Fit in the Div borders

I can't seem to get my video to fit within the boundaries i have set for my div. 

<div class="videoTrailer">
    <video class="trailer" controls>
        <source src="video/trailer1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>    
</div>

/* Setting up the size I want the div to be */
.videoTrailer {
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: red;
    border-width: 5px;
    width: 78%;
    height: 600px;  
    float: left;
}

I did some research on positions (absolute/fixed) and it wasn't producing what I wanted and i got all confused. Can anyone help me?

Mod Note - Added backticks and languages for code formatting and syntax highlighting.

Does it work if you add the following CSS?

video {
  max-width: 100%;
}

Nope, it just goes outside the border-lines. How do i up load an image to show you?

If you're using workspaces, you can post a snapshot of you code using the camera icon in the top right of the screen. This is probably the best solution since then I can see both the outcome, and your code.

Ok i did a screenshot in the workspace. What do I need to do to allow you to see it?

Please post the link generated by the snapshot. This is different than a link to your workspace.
