How To: Embed YouTube with fullscreen and HD options in whatever size you want.

[reallybigname]

Hey, I fixed it!  You can embed HD YouTubes!

I don't know why I never thought of this before - after all, I am a web designer...  You can embed YouTube with HD & fullscreen buttons by using the "insert flash" button in the message editing options!
It's on the very left and looks like this:

What you have to do is get the "embed" code from youtube (and make sure to check the HD checkbox).  The code will look like this:

Code:

<object width="1280" height="745"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="1280" height="745"></embed></object>

But, that code doesn't work on here.  So, what you do is take the url from the first "value=" attribute, and put it inside the flash tag.  You also have to specify the size you want it to show in the flash tag (see example below).  I chose 960x540 because its small enough to fit on most people screens, not stretch the forum window, and has the same proportion as my video.

Everything after the "?" is an attribute that tells the youtube flash what to do, separated by "&" (which is just the embed-safe version of "&")

• "fs=1" means to include the fullscreen button
• "hd=1" means to play in HD, and include the HD switching button
• "hl=en_US" is the language, although I think you could actually remove that part and it would still work fine

So, in the end, my code looked like this (which I'm using the code tag to show you):

Code:

[flash=960,540]http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1[/flash]

So glad I figured that out!   

And, here it is working:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;hd=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;hd=1</a>

i think i have to adjust the automatic embedding code
the fullscreen button worked in the originating thread, but here it doesnt work anymore ;(, to allow flash fullscreen mode....

Yeah, you should just have to add the &fs=1 and &hd=1 in the url in whatever script you're using to rewrite the user input.  But, I sure like the manual flash way because I can resize stuff appropriately for 4:3, 16:9. 

This forums has been an inspiration to my work.  Thanks, Trifox!

That seems to the new, beta way to embed a player that knows their 3D playback tricks.
Is there a way to post iframed content on the forum?

I doubt it, as that could be a security/privacy risk, since the child iframe can get info from the parent window.  Or, someone could also post a virus page inside an iframe and everyone who reads it could be attacked.

Sure. Perhaps some youtube whitelisting for the iframe src could fit the bill though?
Or a way to not have the forum try embed a youtube url, but show the link for click-thru?

Note that throwing a random .swf at flash is not that safe No clicks needed there..

How long did this take to render and what are the specifications on the computer that rendered it?

[reallybigname]

The short answer is that it was done in REAL-TIME on a dual core athlon.   I have a much better computer now, and I can't wait to do a new one...  Here is the copy and paste from the youtube description, which has all the specs:

Thanks to the miracle of real-time 3D fractal exploration that is the Amazing Boxplorer, I am able to bring you this 25 minute psychedelic exploration into the world of the 3D fractal. So, light up, or drink up, or whatever you do, and sit back and enjoy the ride.

All of the source footage was recorded in real-time with boxplorer using a Radeon HD 5830 on a meager dual-core Athlon x2 with 4gb of ram. There are no smooth motion paths because its being done live, using a Cordless Rumblepad 2 to control the motion. I'm also reaching over to the keyboard to adjust parameters at the same time. Compositing, motion blur and other effects were done afterwards.

SO HD that since I'm rendering right now, it caused major lag.
