When I post a youtube link like this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5AlW27FBK-c

As you can see, it brings up a cool-looking link leading to a CRAPPY java viewer that completely mangles the video, instead of a simple link. Is this a function of this forum, or is Youtube doing it? It sure makes a mess of people's videos, and if it's a forum "feature" I suggest it be turned off.

Compare the quality to this:
you*REMOVE*tube.com/watch?v=5AlW27FBK-c

Thanks!

As for if it is a function of the forum, I will leave that to sean or someone else who can answer that but if you click on the You Tube logo in the corner it brings up that version. Perhaps you could instruct people to do that for now.
