Using &fmt=22
Watch the high quality by adding the &fmt22 to the end of your URL!!
"Scott, we think they're teleporting in... " Here's Scott at the Second Life Community Conference , SLCC2008, about 16 minutes before the Keynote...

So if you upload HD video (this one is 720p - 1280x720 pixels), just add the format information and code number indicating its format size, e.g.: 720p= &fmt=22 .
For videos that have a 'high quality' option shown on the lower right of the YouTube player, you can force the 'high quality' display by adding the following format code to the URL: &fmt=6 .
Of course, anyone can set their YouTube display to ONLY show in the higher quality view by going into the 'Account' link which is at the top right of the screen (if you are logged in). Then, look to the left side of the next window, and under the 'Overview' heading you will see 'Playback Setup'. Under the 'Video Playback Settings', select the following option:
I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it's available.
So now you can share that URL which will launch the 'high quality' version.
So herein lies the dilemma; when uploading the HD version, you leave the down-converting to the default sized flv to YouTube...
How I wish we could do both.
So, the default down-converted video clip that YouTube shows is embarrassingly pixilated. Yes, we always blame ourselves for not uploading a the HD version and leaving the work to YouTube to do automatically.
So.... it occurs to me that I should create an HD sister-account where I can just upload the HD stuff and upload video for my regular account at the high end of the YouTube spec which may be changing given the new widescreen view.
See the YouTube Handbook: Best formats for uploading.
When I get a chance this week, I'll have to take a truly short clip at 1080p to see what YouTube does with it and find the format code to display...

Pathfinder and Claudia: keynote at SLedCC and the converstation
Claudia Llinden is honouring the many educators and volunteers both here in Tampa and in SL currently! Yea, all of us!
Pathfinder, "This is a conference about people making real world change."
Claudia is now talking about the pilot program for educators.. working with ISTE. Eduserv was also acknowledged. Go Andy (Art Fosset in SL). Working on an experimental pathway in developing the design of it... http://www.secondlife.net
Pathfinder is telling us that his current avatar is a compilation of parts created over the the last few years.. and has his 2005 badge as evidence. He is challenging us to work and experiment outside our own expertise... take a look at HUB2.. it's an ecosystem.. people coming together .. collaboration coming from different worlds...http://hub2.org
Flickr stream, Not Possible in Real Life.. Pathfinder asks us to think about we we couldn't do in real life....
Claudia's Education Report is something that is read by those at Linden Lab... she is asking us to share even the barriers that we are experiencing with our administrations, as well as what we are doing...
Here is a question from SL. How long will we have to wait to get a registration API and link it to our LDAPs...
Claudia said it is pretty complex and it is definitely moving...
So who is 'M'... Mark. Rank these things... Pathfinder: What do they need yesterday?
Virtual Ability Island in SL has just been mentioned, specifically their recent opening of the island: http://www.virtualability.org/ also the development of a 'seeing eye dog" for people with disabilities. If you are interested in this, drop a notecard on Pathfinder... a multi-disciplinary effort, collaborate effort.

Here at SLCC 2008 in Tampa
Claudia and Pathfinder are setting up for the keynote in the Grand Ballroom. Scott, Bella and Jeremy are working on a live feed through sponsor, Veodia. Avatars are still teleporting in and as I scan the room, there are clouds rezzing and Starbucks' coffee cups moving through the room. Ah.... another Second Life Community Conference. Check out Scott Merrick's live Veodia feed from the ballroom... http://scottsecondlife.blogspot.com/2008/09/veodia-channel-embed-for-sledcc.html
