To embed high quality YouTube video you need to append &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to your embed string. Of course if you use WordPress, you can use Smart YouTube plugin which will do this automatically for you, among other cool things.

Hi!
Does your plugin only work with InternetExplorer? I'm using the latest version of Firefox and no videos are shown in your post!
Awesome! I am using it on my Cycling Blog!
That's a really huge different. Do you meant that by using Smart Youtube, it will automatically change to High Quality video?
i have the plugin updated but i can use hd videos, i put the code in the link but the youtube works but not the hd version the plugin continue to use the normal quality
