    I tried everything to embed a flv file into a joomla page.

    The only luck I had was installing a plugin for youtube but it doesn't display the HD videos.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I don't know if you can embedd HD Youtube videos yet. Have you tried just sourcing a local flash player and the .flv file directly into the article source?

    You can embed HD videos from youtube. Check out http://myhdvideos.blogspot.com/.

    The problem was the the plugin for youtube didn't recognize the addition parameters to force the HD video.


    I tried adding swf player. I can add it using the editor with just the swf file. But when I try to add file="myvideo.flv" parameter it doesn't work.

    I finally got it to work. I disabled the text editor and used the regular embed code from youtube with a few mods.

    If anyone is interested in how to embed HD videos from youtube just copy the embed code from youtube and add "&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D22" to the end of the value url.

    This is the page I am putting my HD videos on. http://www.topmediascript.com/video-gallery.html


    Sample Code: 
    <object width="650" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kF99Xav2E_g&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D22"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kF99Xav2E_g&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D22" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="650" height="390"></embed></object>

    Yes, I'm sure knowing what the hell you are doing helps. :p

    This time I think it was the editor though.

    Why dont you just use the Youtube Embed Plugin??

    Its the easiest way,if your editor options doesnt work good.

    Does that allow you to embed the HD version of the video? I tried one youtube plugin but it wouldn't embed the HD version.

    AllVideos plug-in should do this job for you no problem. It has options for many more videos besides YouTube.
