YouTube BBCODE tests

Use with embed URL. 425x350 px preset. Does anyone know if any YouTube videos are shown in another resolution?

I don't know for sure, so it's just a thought, but what about 320x240?

[Chruser]

320x240 has an aspect ratio of 4/3, while 425x350 has an aspect ratio of 17/14. If anyone knows any standards for YouTube, let me know. In the hypothetical situation that there are just two of them (e.g. 425x350 px and 320x240 px), I guess [youtube425] and [youtube320] could work.

Hmm, I haven't been able to use PHP in BBCODE. WETWIIIRED!

[WetWired]

Well duh, that'd be a huge security hole.

Awesome. Now I'll acctually click on YouTube threads without being tricked into it.

Well duh, that'd be a huge security hole.

I didn't imply something like echo "Hello!";, I mean using PHP for determining the outcome of the BBCODE. E.g. by allowing users to enter a width parameter in BBCODE, and then having PHP divide the user-entered width by an aspect ratio constant (e.g. 4/3) to determine the height of the movie clip automatically.

http://www.youtube.com/v/7oXx0qwe0wc would thus display a hypothetical 400x300 px YouTube movie clip.

Dual parameter BBCODE would also come in handy...
