How to embed YouTube videos in High Quality

[Sombeech]

If you come across a YouTube video that has that "Watch in High Quality" option...

...and you want to embed it on bogley...

in addition to the regular procedure of hitting the "youtube" button...

...you'll have to paste a little piece of code in before the closing youtube bracket.


So, you'd usually have code like this, without the high quality option:

But add this piece of code: &ap=%2526fmt%3D18

So you have this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85c9Rx0gEcs&ap=%2526fmt%3D18

Here's the difference;

Regular quality:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85c9Rx0gEcs

And the high quality embed:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85c9Rx0gEcs&ap=%2526fmt%3D18


Remember, that high quality option has to be there in the first place.

How does the option appear? The video must be produced in .divx format, with at least 600 kbps resolution.

the two videos look the same to me.

also from that video you posted before, i though it indicated a few different formats beyond divx, like h.264

Dang, maybe it's off and on. I always look at the Bogley.com tag to see the difference, but currently they're looking the same.

My search continues.

Let me experiment with this one; low first, then high
