In the last post, I gave you instructions on how to produce Camtasia videos that are recognized by YouTube as High Definition. In this post, we break down High Definition on YouTube for general use a little bit.
(I used a bit of the information found at My Digital Life to help me do a lot of this!)
So, the specs for High Definition:
- Resolution: 1280 x 720px
- Rendering: h.264 (MP4/Quicktime)
- Frame Rate: 30 fps
- Bit Rate: > 1 mbps
- Audio: High-quality AAC two audio channels stereo sound at 232 kbit/s 44100 Hz monaural (near CD quality)
This is what we essentially created in the last blog YouTube High Definition fromCamtasia. One thing to note here, though, is that if you are using a camcorder to record yourself, you MUST have a High Definition camera to do this properly (standard cameras do not record in this higher 1280x720 resolution…that is why it is called high definition, right?)
So how to you embed High Definition into your website or blog?
First, grab the “embed code” as you normally would from your YouTube Video…

<object width=”480″ height=”295″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y2Kh1EFD9HQ&hl=en&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y2Kh1EFD9HQ&hl=en&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”295″></embed></object>
So here is the trick! We need to add an extra variable (some extra stuff) to the video location within this code.For High Quality (which we discuss more in How to Create High Quality Video on YouTube), we need to add:
&ap=%2526fmt%3D18
Here is where we add it:
<object width=”480″ height=”295″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y2Kh1EFD9HQ&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18“></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y2Kh1EFD9HQ&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”295″></embed></object>
For High Definition, it is really the same thing except we change the fmt variable slightly to:
&ap=%2526fmt%3D22
<object width=”480″ height=”295″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y2Kh1EFD9HQ&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D22“></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y2Kh1EFD9HQ&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D22” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”295″></embed></object>
That is it! cheers…matt

My name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer.
For close to 10 years, I worked for a defense company as an electrical engineer until one day I had the I found a $50 eBook and began my internet marketing career... sort of! The first few months I lost my shirt! I did everything wrong and really tried to re-invent the internet marketing wheel. Big mistake!





Matt,
This is on a different subject. I doing the Vianet training. I just found info on software, that is not out yet but will be released soom. You can find info it at pingspider.com. This looks very effective to rank fast with google. Can you look at it an tell me what you think? I am struggling with traffic. Vianet is starting to market my stuff, but just starting so I am not seeing a lot of traffic yet. I am dying out here and need to get some traffic going.
