Hai all,

Try typing &fmt=18 at the end of a youtube video and it will increase the quality, this video explains it:

    Doesn't seem to work for me.

    Oh wait! It does now! Very nice.

    I think the code enables high quality when you view it, it's on by default by some videos but perhaps this just accesses the high quality before it is automated.

    If it says
    "Watch this video in lower quality for faster playback."
    underneath the video then it worked, it just doesn't work so well for all videos- It varies. Try &fmt=6

    BEST FIND EVER... YouTube wise atleast.

    Hahah an advertisement came up over the code while I was watching it. Someone doesnt want us to watch our almost pr0n in HD!

    Edit: The advertisement doesnt come up on every video, not even all with &fmt=18.
