  I made a custom video on slide.com and tried to upload from the site using the “upload video to wordpress” but it kept showing up as a picture slide show.

  I even tried to enter the HTML but it still is a picture slide show. I have upgraded CSS.

  This is the URL to the video http://www.slide.com/r/QBz471n62D_BH7vH8t-fZ5ug2E0nLuyf?current_view=TICKER&previous_view=TICKER_MENU_SHARE&previous_action=SHARE&cid=2305843009241050275

  Thanks in advance!

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

  The Slide slideshow is supported directly by WordPress.com, but apparently not the video function.

  Perhaps you can find a solution in this post by another forum volunteer, Panos

  Another option could be VodPod http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/

  Is there a way to embed videos in HD? Youtube gives me a HD url, but when I add it to my WP page it’s not in HD?

  @iradeum: What’s the HD URL you’re getting?

  That’s the link to the page for creating a youtube account.

  love HD, should I always check the “play in HD” box for the videos I embed on my site?

  Short answer: No! Here’s why…

  Checking “play in HD” triggers, when available, a video resolution of 1280×720 (referred to as 720p) or 1920×1080 (referred to as 1080p).

  When using the “Play in HD” option, it’s best to embed the player at a very large size (at least 1280 x 745) in order to accommodate the large size of the video. If you play HD video in a small player, the user’s computer works overtime to scale down the video to fit within the player, which may result in choppy playback. It’s always best to play the video size that best fits the size of the video player. And if you want even better performance when watching HD content, you can choose to watch it in full-screen.

  Tip: make sure the resolution of the video is not higher that the size of the YouTube embedded player you’re using. http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=178264
