New Video Player Feature: Choose your video quality

Close up of video quality selectionHello AOL Video users. Its been a little while since we've been in touch. When we last were in touch back in December of 2009, we had just finished rolling out a collection of back end features that improved general functionality for AOL editorial and International users. We were very proud of that release, as it contributed to the overall stability of the video player product.
