Earlier when YouTube was testing high resolution videos, we posted a hack to view YouTube videos in high quality by simply appending a parameter to the existing url, but there is no need for such hack now as YouTube provides option to view the high quality version of the video, However, YouTube still does not provide any method to let users embed high quality version of the video on there blog or website, but using the hack below you will be able to embed high resolution Youtube videos.
For the hack to work you will need to append &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the end of video clip’s URL's specified in “param” and “embed” tags in the default embed code provided by YouTube. For Example:
This is the default code (Normal Quality):
1 <object width="425" height="344"> 2 <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rw8gE3lnpLQ&hl=en"></param> 3 <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rw8gE3lnpLQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed> 4 </object>
This is the modified High Quality embed code (changes in bold):
1 <object width="425" height="344"> 2 <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rw8gE3lnpLQ&hl=en&ap=%2526fmt%3D18"></param> 3 <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rw8gE3lnpLQ&hl=en&ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed> 4 </object>

this does not work
this does not work (anymore?). Clicking the play button just shows a stalled flash waiting for a video file which never seems to come.

It really works!!, this one is great. Thank you very much for this code.
Thanks
Thanks seems to be working on some short tests, cause the player to become a bit buggy I think, sometimes the video starts as if it is finished and shows related videos, but can put up with this.
I'm sure it's not long until YT provide support for this hopefully :)
What will happen if there is no HighQuality vid?
If the extra code is inserted into an embed code for which no high quality video is available, will it still play the normal quality video? Can see people just wanting to paste the "high quality" option straight in there, on the off chance high quality is available, but they haven't taken the time to check.
I think this is an easier
