I've created a tool which generates the right HTML code to embed High Quality YouTube videos. Instead of you having to fiddle around altering the code yourselves with the code I posted here last night.
Most people I've told today seem pretty indifferent - but it makes a phenomenal difference to the quality of the video. If you play the two versions of Epic FU I've embedded on http:// twittervlog.tumblr.com/ together, you can see that difference for yourselves, especially in shots of Zadi in the studio. The colours and resolution are better than you get with a Blip flash player. And you get to use YouTube without sacrificing quality. Anyway, for anybody who does see the difference and wants it, my embed code generator is here: http://www.twittervlog.tv/high-quality-youtube-embed-generator.html Rupert http://twittervlog.tv Begin forwarded message: From: "ruperthowe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: June 25, 2008 1:32:08 AM PDT (CA) To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] How to embed high quality MP4 versions of YouTube videos! Reply-To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com I've been reading about how to make YouTube videos look really good. There's quite a good article here: http://tinyurl.com/6lz636 BUT the most useful thing I discovered was how to link to and embed the High Quality MP4 versions that you can toggle to watch on the site. If you're posting/linking to a YouTube video, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL and it'll play in HQ. Doesn't work for embeds, but I found a way to cheat it: add &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the end of both URLs in the embed code and it'll embed as a High Quality MP4 video. NO MORE SHITTY YOUTUBE EMBEDS! http://tinyurl.com/5c9e3h [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
