Suggestion Youtube widescreen embedding?

[Gombessa]

I know YT has some new options for embedding videos - widescreen, larger dimensions, etc. Any chance the embed code will be updated to accommodate these options?

Right now, when I embed a widescreen vid, it plays in a small 4:3 window with letterboxing.

Bump. Anyone monitoring this forum? From what I can see, it should be fairly trivial to make a new

 tag to allow larger, widescreen embeds, and would be a real treat for those of us who like to post videos with our dive reports.

Thanks!

Why not post the HTML code here so I can have a look at it?

I don't have access to the most popular embed codes since vB.com has a license validation, but I'm hoping some of the higher-ups have the right mojo?

Supported HQ and HD embeds: YouTube BBCode with HQ and HD support (W3C-compliant!) - vBulletin.org Forum

The BB Code section of vbulletin.org seems chock full of embed codes: vBulletin 3.7 Template Modifications - vBulletin.org Forum

Thanks for looking into this!

It's also a matter of public support.

So far, only one member has requested this additional functionality.

I'll have a look at these new BB codes.

Thanks El.

It's true that I'm the only one who has so far requested it, but there seem to be quite a few users embedding dive videos, and not everyone is aware that Youtube has recently allowed HQ/HD embeds. I bet once people see higher quality embeds, they'd prefer it greatly over the small ones currently in place!

You just may find a few new BB codes.
