I am using youtubes new iframe code to embed video but the videos seem to be lower quality than if I watch them on youtube. Is there a way to embed the high quality video?

My code at the moment is 

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="650" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6X3zUh8RqbY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
