Note for Adobe CS4 Premiere:

Choosing the h.264, YouTube preset, and then increase the definition to 720p (by increasing the level) does NOT work (you can upload the video, but you will not get the full HD -fmt=22-). You need to select the following:

1. Format: H.264
2. Preset: HDTV 720p 23.976
3. Change the Frame Rate from 23.976 to 30 (Not sure if this is a must, but read somewhere that YouTube perfers 30fps)

You can change the video playback mode by adding &fmt=XX to the youtube URL (in the embed code or in the browser URL)

HD (720p): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgan4rt7ZHw&fmt=22

Regular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgan4rt7ZHw

Apparently, the fmt params are:

• fmt=6 is flv format and 480×360 at a low bitrate.
• fmt=18 is MP4 and is a higher bitrate, but same resolution.
• fmt=22 is 720p

The (Video Embed URL) = http://www.youtube.com/v/[videoID] (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/v/Mgan4rt7ZHw)

3. Create the Column, Table, or DB need to have the UTF8 charset and collation
