> I noticed when I watched Part 1 that the "High Quality" option did  
> not look as good as others we have put up.  It appears that YouTube  
> is migrating towards HD.  But I think we are in a
> transition phase where they have not worked out the bugs yet.  I  
> think the High Quality option is going away
> and it will be replaced with HD if an HD video is uploaded.
>
> I did this with Part 2 and now you have an option for Normal Quality  
> or HD.  The HD quality looks great but
> the playback is not quite ready for prime time, at least on some  
> systems that should be able to play it.  It plays more
> like a slide show on one of my computers, but in this case that  
> might be fine if it allows you to see the spurs and
> buds better.  I am sure YouTube will work out the kinks but it is  
> probably going to take some time.
