Watch higher quality Youtube videos
Monday, 3. November 2008, 12:16:23
Are you sick and tired of crappy quality Youtube videos? Well there is a neat trick for that.
Unfortunatelly until someone finds a way how to use it all the time or until someone creates lets say Firefox extension for it, you have to enter it manually.
How you say? It's simple. Just append "&fmt=18" to any Youtube video and hit enter to reload the URL.

Sample image above shows a very noticeable difference.
If anyone knows how to append those few characters automatically to Youtube videos (only!), please post it here.
If you have some skills with Firefox extensions and you could write extension for this tweak, it would be also very cool. Until then, we'll just do it by hand hehe ;D
EDIT (10.11.2008):
Someone replyed below with this link:

It's an user javascript file that automatically adds the above string to every YouTube video automatically.
You need GreaseMonkey to install the script in Firefox. The script was made by Joe Simmons.
Thanks a lot man!
There is also this alternative with some more features if anyone wants more features:
