This is not new at all, but I just thought everyone should know this by now, also the "News" hasn't been posted in for a while so here we go.

Alot of people think the quality of YouTube videos is bad, so heres some tips to help the quality.
NOTE; THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE UP-TO-DATE AND MIGHT NOT BE 100% CORRECT AT SOME SPOTS

YouTube Quality Tips:


When there is no "watch in high quality" sign, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL for Higher quality.
(Works for both video and sound quality)

Let's say you found this video and want higher quality:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF7HorSyVDA&feature=related
Remove the &feature=related/or anything else that is followed by a "&", and replace it with &fmt=18
Like so:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF7HorSyVDA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF7HorSyVDA&fmt=18

This is the raw link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF7HorSyVDA

Better sample for High quality Stereo audio, given to me by Taylor earlier today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRsNZsFQxDw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRsNZsFQxDw&fmt=18
Listen to the one without &fmt=18 for a while first, then try the one with &fmt=18.
Notice the sound quality is alot higher?

November 25th 2008, YouTube changed to Widescreen.
It also seems they added some HD options for Widescreen too.
There's a new one now called the &fmt=22, and it seems to only work on HD 720p videos.
Just check it out.

Highest Quality BEFORE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUQ5bvy7QrI&fmt=6

Highest Quality NOW:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUQ5bvy7QrI&fmt=22


When there IS a "watch in high quality" sign, use &fmt=6 for high quality video.
(Will not give you better sound quality, if you want better sound quality, add &fmt=18 or simply click the high quality button.)


Results may vary.

Also, very good example of high quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI&fmt=6




EDIT: Apparently &fmt=6 doesn't work anymore.. Oh well I did all I could.
&fmt=22 and &fmt=18 still work, and are good if you want to watch in HD or HQ from the beginning, or wanna send it to a friend and make sure they watch it in high quality.

It's funny, because most videos promoting it don't change when you punch in the code.

Thanks for Stickie :dance:
Yay my first stickie, anyway.. Earlier today I tried to use &fmt=18 on a video without a high quality button, and the quality didn't seem to change... I don't really know what's going on.


Also I don't want a :burger:
