For those of you struggling to get your YouTube HD and HQ videos embedded on your web pages (currently YouTube only supplies the LQ coding which you then have to tweak) here's a page that does all the hard work for you, whilst also allowing you to test the link:

Can you enlighten me - Is HQ also HD or is it something else and a sperate stream?

HQ is 640x360. You either upload at that size and get HQ, 1280x720 and get HD, or any other size ends up as LQ.

Well, here's a new discovery!
If you put up an HD video then an HQ is also available. Here's an HD video to try it out for yourself if you don't have one handy: YouTube - Twilight(720p HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBS2BRIcYk4) The one at bottom of my coding page appears to be HQ.
What that means is that you can put a HD video up on YT and provide the end user with a choice depends on their connection.
Or did everyone else already know that..?
