It is no longer necessary to hack the YouTube embed code to offer the high-quality (HQ) version of YouTube videos on web pages and blogs . YouTube now does it for you by offering the option to watch a video in high quality IN the embedded player itself. An “HQ” button now pops up inside the embedded video player whenever a high quality video is played. Hovering over the button will allow you to see that clicking it will offer the video in higher quality.

The topic of this post and the video tutorial below is video embeds. More specifically, it deals with how to obtain high-quality or high-definition (HD) playback of YouTube videos when they are embedded on blogs or websites outside of YouTube.

At last! It’s the eve of our initial launch of YouTube Secret Weapon — my new 2-part DVD tutorial with New Media expert Paul Colligan on how to score TONS of more targeted traffic on YouTube.

Actually, Paul and I are doing what we call a “lite launch.”

You see, the site will go live tomorrow at lunchtime — Friday, January 16th, around 12 p.m. EST – and when it does, we aren’t making an effort to WIDELY promote it.

No matter how valuable your content might be, or how hilarious, shocking, inspirational, what-have-you, in order for that video to even have a CHANCE to go viral, people have to find your content in the first place! You need to get your YouTube videos optimized and indexed FIRST so that you even stand a chance to grab those eyes and turn them your way.
