You read about the fmt=18 parameter to watch the higher quality .mp4 files at Youtube, but you don’t know how to “embed” these videos? Well, here is a valid “XHTML 1 Strict” code to put Youtube’s higher quality .mp4’s on your site:
PHP:
-
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 450px; height: 400px;" data="***&ap=%2526fmt%3D18">
-
<param name="quality" value="best" />
-
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
-
<param name="movie" value="***&ap=%2526fmt%3D18" />
-
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
-
</object>
Just replace *** with the url of the Youtube file – not the url of the youtube page! If there is no Youtube .mp4 version available, it will display the lower quality version instead, no worries.
