There is a hack which can made low-quality YouTube videos to be shown as High Quality (append '&fmt=6' at the end of URL) [assuming the source is HQ]

So where do I need to hack-in to appehend the display URL with ?

I will be uploading HD videos to Youtube, so this will be very useful.

Thanks

The url for displaying the video is output via the default theme function, so you could write a custom theme function to attach the HD parameter:

function phptemplate_video_upload_video($yt_id, $width = '425', $height = '355', $field = array(), $params = array(), $attributes = array()) {
...
}

The youtube API has changed quite a lot since this request (fmt is no longer supported). If HD is available, that is included in the latest youtube player embeds.
