How to embed HIGH QUALITY youtube videos in CDX

First, copy the embed code from Youtube on the video page. It will look something like this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nc2oSCP-jmM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nc2oSCP-jmM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

What you need to do is replace a string after your video id. The video ID ends with the & sign. So, in the example above, the video ID is:

Nc2oSCP-jmM

You need to delete after this string, and replace with a new string:

Nc2oSCP-jmM&hl=en&fs=1 becomes Nc2oSCP-jmM&ap=%2526fmt%3D18

Make sure you replace this in both places in your code.

Finally, change the size of your video to the original size. In this case its 600 x 485. Your final code will look something like this. I've highlighted the changes in bold.

<object width="600" height="485"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nc2oSCP-jmM&ap=%2526fmt%3D18"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nc2oSCP-jmM&ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="600" height="485"></embed></object>
