  When I embed a youtube video the HQ option does not appear.

  But I see on other wordpress blogs that the HQ option does appear.

  OfCourse I am referring to videos that have the HQ option on the YouTube site.

  Any suggestions???

  And yes I did do a search of the forums first.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Presumably the HQ tag gives the “option” of HQ.

  Okay the support link above gives this example code= &w=480&h=360&fmt=18] to specify width, height and HQ

  Have copied and pasted it, does not work.

  The editor is automatically changing the “&” to “&” each time, whether put in in visual or html mode, although only visible in html mode.

  What could I be doing wrong???

  Don’t copy the code from the support document. There is special codes and such put in to the support documents to make the stuff appear.

  Type it directly into the youtube code in the HTML tab of the editor.

  No still not working.

  I typed in &fmt=18] (at the end) the editor changes it to “&fmt=18]”

  And reloading the page and watching it fetch from youtube, and no change, not working.
