Clearer Video Quality on Youtube

[Boosted Supra]

EDIT: Changed Thread Topic

I got this from SF as I know a lot of you guys don't go there much

To get a better quality video and better sounding, just add the following at the ending of the URL: "&fmt=18"



Try it out with this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7MMPe-kW3w

You must visit youtube.com to see better quality

Sounds the same to me.:dunno:

Well, the volume increased a bit.

Can't really see the difference.

I noticed a difference in the image more than sound. With the fly by video without that code it was kinda, pixel-y but after that code it was crystal clear to me. Same with the burnout video.

Maybe that sound thing was just my laptop, or did my mind believe the sound was better due to the fact that I saw a clearer image?

Sound is definetly different. Video is better too on most videos.

Here is my better fix, I posted on SF:
You can go to youtubes settings and fix this so its always best quality:
http://www.youtube.com/video_quality_settings

Save the last one.

Now try clicking the links above, you'll the little TV ICon near "Views"... saying your in HQ.

**Edit, I think it only works on certain videos that allow it**

When link to SM, since it embeds, I think it automatically plays the LOW Quality version.

Yes that can work, but a lot of people don't have youtube accounts and/or too lazy to make one or login into for the matter.

 

[crazysupra2JZ]

it definitely makes the video better

If you're someone that watches Youtube videos frequently,
I personally think it'd be a lot easier to make an account and change the setting ONCE,
Rather than add that to the end of EVERY video you watch.

Good find, though! (You don't hear me say much of anything on SF being good very often)

I don't notice any improvement

I def noticed an improvement. It's subtle, but it helps.
