HD Embed Attempt

**Update: Okay, I figured it out! To get these to play in HQ, wait until the movie is playing, THEN click the little up arrow in the lower right hand corner! You will see options for Annotations, Closed Captions, and HQ - High Quality! If the video in question has one or more of these features, that option will be fleshed in, and you'll be able to click on it.

So yeah, all of these videos have HQ and non-HQ modes. I'll keep the rest of the post, however, for posterity. Oh, trial and error. End of Update**

So, I'm going to embed the same video twice. Once, while I watch it in normal quality. Then, while I watch it in HD. So, here's HD:



And here's not-HD:



...
Hmmm. Well, that didn't work. Let's try with another video:

HD:



Non-HD:



Hmmm. Well, it sure doesn't seem to work. On the other hand, I just actually watched those videos, and even though the opening picture is horribly pixelated, the actual videos are pretty good. Not as good as they are on the site, in HD, but still pretty good.

You know what? I'll try this one more time, in a smaller time. Just for kicks.

HD:



Not-HD:



So, apparently things look good when they are sized correctly. Who didn't know that, really, and has two thumbs? A tribesman in UGANDA! If there are any of those left.
Probably not. If there ever were.

At any rate, I'm going to go take a look at those size tests I did once again, and I'm going to go look up embedding with HD -- see if it's possible at all. Post at ya laterbies.
