simply by adding &fmt=18 at the end of the URL! Enjoy!

I'm not entirely sure whether this is fake or not. I didn't see much of a difference.

Old videos (pre-march, I think) don't support the high-quality option.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Oh. I'll look for a newer one, then.
High quality? Neat. You should have at least told us what it was, or you sound like a hacker/troll.

Is it

http://www.youtube.com/&fmt=18

?

The older videos don't include the LINKS to the higher quality versions, but they're still there. I think -- adding the &fmt=18 lets you access higher quality.

You're doing it wrong! Go to a specific video page like http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u7aDstrDMf0

now add &fmt=18

see/hear a difference?

 

[Pesmerga]

Not at all.

Please note you can put ****all after the & and the video will still work. Placebo test is sugary.

 

[Acepilotf14]

No pes, watch any movie, then add that fmt thing to thing end of the URL, and enter it again.

Ah yes, you're right. There isn't a huge difference though.

Edit:

Highres looks quite blurry.

[Krynn72]

I dont see any difference whatsoever.

Woah. WOAH. WOAH. This is a sign of good things to come!

This video was added 1 week ago.

Funny how the lowres pic is 89kb while the "highres" is 80kb.

I call shenanigans on the whole thing.

I guess it really does only affect new uploads. The one I posted was uploaded mid March.

 

[Pesmerga]

I welcome our new highbandwidth overlords.

 

[giant384]

i guess it makes little difference.

 

[Dynasty]

The hell is with her eyes on the left pic???

 

[The Brick]

Every video where it's available already has an option "watch this video in higher quality" right underneath it...

 

[SimonomiS]

I heard about this but I thought it was only for certain videos, like the sponosored ones they have.
