Tobias, thanks for the reply.  However, I think we're talking about 2
different things.

A regular youtube page URL looks like so:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezNScBd7_h4

whereas an embedded youtube video url looks like:

http://www.youtube.com/v/ezNScBd7_h4

The /watch?v= gets replaced with /v/

You are correct that the &fmt=18 will work with the regular URL, but
it doesnt work with the embedded.  Per Youtube's help pages (http://
code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html) they have a
parameter to force the video to play in HD if it has an HD version.
But no such parameter to force a video to play in HQ if it has an HQ
version.

Here is an example of an embedded video playing in HD mode by default:

Bottom line is this is a youtube issue.  I've resigned myself to just
click HQ when it loads...
