<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Would you test it for me please? You might want to back those two files up in case there’s anything screwy in there, but it looks OK. I haven’t been through every option / combination…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to actually see any difference, can you point me to an example where you can see the difference between HD and standard quality?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">I’m wondering how tricky it would be to create a copy of the youtube template (XOT) and modify it so a user could specify the dimensions of the player? I notice the standard flash
video page template allows a user to enter their specified size (separated by a comma).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#244061"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">I’ve had a look at the youtube page template, just to see if I could directly change the size of the video (to 480, 272) but wasn’t sure which values to set!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#244061"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:#244061">On another note, is there a way to force it to play a HD stream? I’ve ticked the HD option in the YT embed section, which appends “HD=1” to the URL, but that doesn’t seem to effect
the quality in Xerte.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
