   Currently, it is possible to text link a high quality version of a YouTube video by adding &fmt=18 to the URL, but the code does not work for embedding.

   Text Link

   Original Code: href="URL&fmt=18"
   Wordpress Correction: href="URL&fmt=18"
   Result: Link to high quality video works

   Embedding Video

   Original Code: [youtube=URL&fmt=18]
   Wordpress Correction: [youtube=URL&fmt=18]
   Result: Embedding of a standard quality video instead of a high quality video

   Please consider adding support for embedding high quality YouTube videos.

   Thank you,
   Kitsune

   Looks like I can't edit the post...

   Typo:

   & is missing from the corrected versions:

   It should read:

   WordPress Correction: href="URL&fmt=18"

   WordPress Correction: [youtube=URL&fmt=18]

   ........

   It seems that the WordPress forum is omitting the expression ANDAMP; from my posts... I'll try to repost it in the code tag.
