You can change the quality setting in line 47 of the javascript. Your users may 
experience more stuttery playback if their bandwidth can't hang.

I just tried setting it to HD and it worked fairly well. Any sluggishness seems 
to be more a problem with the browser than with bandwidth in my case. (on 
wi-fi.)

Firefox about choked on it. The navigation became sluggish and at times 
unresponsive. Laptop fans were whirring into high gear. But Safari and Chrome 
handled it like a champ.

i changed quality setting in line 47 but the video won't start at all. i figure 
it out to add &hd=1 into line 34 which will make the video start at 720p

swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/v/" + videoId + 
"?enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer&loop=1&hd=1", "ytapiplayer", videoWidth, 
videoHeight, "8", null, null, params, atts);

I'm quite ambivalent about this one.

I'm going to continue letting the YT player determine the playback quality.  In 
the next build, I'll see what I can do to make it work as efficiently as 
possible.

guys, use this code (change videoQuality value as described at 
(https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#Playback_quality):

 videoQuality = "hd720"

        window.onPlayerReady = function(e) {
            resize();
            if (options.mute) e.target.mute();
            e.target.setPlaybackQuality(videoQuality);
            e.target.seekTo(options.start);
            e.target.playVideo();   
        }

        window.onPlayerStateChange = function(state) {
            if (e.data == YT.PlayerState.BUFFERING) {
                e.target.setPlaybackQuality(videoQuality);
            }

            if (state.data === 0 && options.repeat) { // video ended and repeat option is set true
                player.seekTo(options.start); // restart
            }
        }

Hi, any updates regarding HD.
Cannot figure out still how to set it so it starts with HD quality.

#10 code work for me .. just a little bit of changing the code in here so it 
will work on buffering

if (e.data == YT.PlayerState.BUFFERING) {
                e.target.setPlaybackQuality(videoQuality);
            }

must be change e to state .. 

if (state.data == YT.PlayerState.BUFFERING) {
                state.target.setPlaybackQuality(videoQuality);
            }

the e behaviour is not defined, the parameter state in this line 
window.onPlayerStateChange = function(state) was declared, so state will be 
used as a behaviour. :)

Hello... this thread is a few years old... but can anyone give me a clear path 
to getting a higher quality full-screen video happening?

I've tried incorporating the above solutions, but to no avail.

I'm using 1.0.1

Same, i see the code has a video quality parameter in v1.0.1 but it is not 
affecting the quality. Please help!
