Add this

&fmt=18

or

&fmt=6

at the end of a video url.

For example

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IIzpjyKmK9c

would be.

Lol this might have been around for ever but i just found out now..

sorry couldn't tell the difference between the vids when i used it

Is it meant for fullscreen?

it gets abit better but only if you look closely

i first saw that on lifehacker.com. but it was afew weeks ago i think. So i win :p

I didn't think all of youtube videos even had a higher quality version.

I think it depends on the person who made the video rather then the player…Because i tried this on a crap version of a video and it barely did a thing.

just to compare…

i don't see any difference..

i really cant see any difference :P

There is a visable difference with this one.

I think youtube reduces the quality even if you upload a hi-res video that is whithin the size limit. So only shortvideos work with it.

they all look the same to me =\

hard to see any diffrence

I tried and I didn't see a difference, is this real?

It only works on some videos. There's even a button on those videos for the higher quality version (although it's hard to find).

I've noticed a HUGE difference lately! Wait, ill check for a good video..

Or ill just a pic instead, note that tinypic messed up the quality a bit..
With - Without

With = With the &fmt=18 thing, without is without it (DUH)

And here's the vid.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=NGKlns62w1A&fmt=18

If you upload a high quality .wmv format video it will have a high quality option.
Makes a huge difference for all my concert vids i upload.

Thanks for this.

It's visible on a lot of these clips:

It mostly works on music, i did this once for one persons video. Made it sound so much better.

there is so difference it just depends on the video you use it with, thx :D

I don't really notice anything different…
