Tips for Hosting YouTube Content

Every YouTube video has an address like the following:

Code:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QyYaPWasos&hl=en&fs=1

This part is the Video ID that lets YouTube know what video to play:

Code:

_QyYaPWasos

If there are any strings like these after the ID, they are codes that tell YouTube what options to use when pulling up the video. Anything that starts with "&" is not part of the Video ID and you can remove it if you want.

Code:

&hl=en&fs=1

To host the video in a forum post, put the following in your post:

Code:

[flash(425,350)]http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID[/flash]

Replace "VIDEO_ID" with the Video ID.

To make any YouTube video a higher quality version, use the string "&fmt=18" (without quotes) after the Video ID. You can do this on just about any YouTube video. If "&fmt=18" does not work, try "&fmt=6".

Code:

&fmt=18
&fmt=6

Ooooooh thanks!!

Ty it worked
