HD Setting

[gurokevin]

I am using SmugMug to put videos on my website. When you initially watch any of the videos they are in a low quality. I then have to go and click the "HD On" button for it to go to the better quality. Is there any way to make this an automatic setting so that when the videos are first viewed they go automatically to the HD setting?

The only custom settings/changes you can make to the video embed code are the ones we have listed here: http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Video+FAQ%27s

Can we put this in as a request or a topic of further research. I also want my videos to play in HD at the start without having to go to full screen and click the HD button. It seems there must be a way to do this. HD video was a requirment of the project I'm using thease video in and I'm upset to learn only now that I can't deliver HD videos by default.

We appreciate your input! I'd recommend you also post it here as well:

I too think the default should be customizable.
