Normally I don’t post standalone videos on here, but this time I’m playing around with embedding HD HQ from YouTube. Enjoy.

Hmm, I guess I need to widen the content div to 720px. As of now it’s just 600px but looks better at 720px.

Here’s how to do it with a 600px content div (thanks to CNet):
<object width="600" height="361"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YOURVIDEOCODEHERE&ap=%2526fmt%3D22" name="movie" /><param value="window" name="wmode" /><param value="true" name="allowFullScreen" /><embed width="600" height="361" wmode="window" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YOURVIDEOCODEHERE&ap=%2526fmt%3D22"></embed></object>

Just replace YOURVIDEOCODEHERE with the code of your video you’d like to embed. For http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgan4rt7ZHw this would be Mgan4rt7ZHw.

Update: The real high def is now live at YouTube and Facebook. Be sure to hit the “Watch in HD” in the lower right corner, for example on this one. A little late to the party, because Vimeo and SmugMug have been doing this for a while, but better late than never!
