Youtube tweak for better quality videos

SAAD mehmood · #1 04-04-2008, 09:24 PM

Do you guys know this trick?

You can watch (slightly) better quality (higher resolution) videos by adding &fmt=6 or &fmt=18 at the end of a Youtube URL.

Regular resolution of videos on Youtube is 320 X 240.

If you add &fmt=6 at the end of URL you can watch at 448 X 336.

Add &fmt=18 and it becomes 480 X 360.

Example:
low res: YouTube - skateboarding dog tillman episode 3 "surf,skate,snow"
better res: YouTube - skateboarding dog tillman episode 3 "surf,skate,snow"
YouTube - skateboarding dog tillman episode 3 "surf,skate,snow"
