  • how ironic that his video only goes up to 360p

  • he sounds like anthony padilla from SMOSH

  • wow.... this is old, haha

  • From 240p to 320p Quality?

    Uhm... That is not a high quality video.

  • This is old style of YouTube.

  • @Baraka552 yeah the old style....i miss the old style :(

  • What Stupid video?

  • este tipo es tremendo imbecil! this guy is a great dumbass! even a 5 years old boy knows that !idiot

  • we all know Dumbass!

  • This was uploaded in March 2008 so back then it first came out. DUMB FUCKING 1

  • your voice scared the shit out of me when you said high quality youtube my speakers where On FULLBLAST!

  • I'm sorry, i don;t get it, this is just way too confusing. I'm not sure how you did it, but it seems you took something obviously quite complicated and tried to dumb it down for the lay person and somehow made it more complicated. Try talking slower next time,... maybe add some "uuhhh"s and "uummmm"s to help people follow all those fast hard words

  • i cannot find the link in the videos.

  • just like christopher columbus

    or marge simpson

    you discover something millions of people knew about b4 u

  • he made this discovery in march.. when not many people knew there was HQ videos...

  • A wild slowpooke appears!

  • lol, you're all like, HAY GAIZ

  • TYPE THIS AT THE END OF A VIDEO FOR HD QUALITY

    &fmt=18

  • &fmt=18 is High Quality

    &fmt=22 is HD (High Definition)

  • Thank You for stating the obvious. LOL

  • The "normal" video format of YouTube is FLV. when you click on HQ it will become .MP4 adds some more quality but not too much and if you want HQ with the videos that doest have that option just add &FMT=18 at the end of the video link it should appear Turn off HQ below the video.

  • Youtube songs in high quality make a big difference

  • You tube promised it was coming.  There is a God.

  • this guy is as thick as pig shit

  • TYPE THIS AFTER THE URL OF ANY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE FOR HIGHER QUALITY

    &fmt=18

  • This user speaks truth.

  • @armandolara94 u shitting me? lol a bit late

  • @jonahtang a bit late for what fool? u stupid dawg

  • @armandolara94 i said my reply was a bit late cause u commented three years ago.. and i was just joking when i said "u shitting me".. that's why i put the lol.. -_-

  • @jonahtang xD Ok dawg I forgive you

  • @armandolara94 Or &hd=1

  • WOW! you can watch high quality by clicking the high quality link!? amazing!

  • no shit

  • The high quality option is gone on youtube!

  • LOL no it inst... u must be slow. I just watched 3 different ones today.

  • No asshole; if you were aware you would no that high quality was down for quite a while. Apparently it came back on shortly before this video.

  • So i am right and don't use such foul language. Calm down its a computer not ur life.

  • so can someone please tell me how to download the high quality video?

    thanks a lot :D

  • Does the code at the end of the URL only work if you've downloaded something?

    It seemed to work by it's self but then what is that thing that people tell you to download?

  • TYPE THIS AFTER THE URL OF ANY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE FOR HIGHER QUALITY

    &fmt=18

  • put &fmt=18 at the end of any video url on youtube and it will make it high quality but some videos are such low quality that it doesn't really make much difference

  • This option is only available when the uploaded video is AVI or MPEG-2 or better.

  • nope i post wmv videos and there is the HQ option.

  • What software o u guys use to get these settings?

  • If you see my videos they are ALL high quality.

    This is what settings i use:

    840x524

    5Mbps VBR MPEG 4

    192Kbps AAC

    This creates files which are about 30 MB per minute.

  • what i have to do with

    840x524

    5Mbps VBR MPEG 4

    192Kbps AAC

    ???

  • Your video should be switchable to HQ (thru normal button), if u go with these settings.

    Encoding settings:

    Size: 640x360

    Video Codec: XviD (default settings)

    Audio: 320kbit MPEG-4

    Video Bitrate: Any above 900kbit.

  • My latest video can be viewed in high quality and the difference is amazing, you can really see the dolphins swimming underwater whereas before they were just a blur. Getting the high quality option is easy, just upload at high quality (640x480 and at least 900 kbps)

  • You dont have any videos.

  • yeah, that liar!

  • you don't have any videos,

    thanks for another reason to BLOCK another dweeb

    try uploading as 480x360 MP4 and check the quality before you upload since in regular view youtube will first convert it to 320x240 then keep an MP4 HQ copy as 480x360

  • sedders123

    you don't have any videos posted

  • Higher quality just sets the resolution to 640 by something...I have found that using the rubbish Windows Movie Maker to compile vids gives the High Quality option.

  • Resolution: 480 x 360 (stan: 320 x 240)

    Bitrate: ≅ 900 kbps (stan: ≅ 200 kbps)

    Audio: 44.1KHz/96kbps/CBR(stan: 22KHz/64/kbps/ABR)

  • Not high quality bitrate, it is a higher quality video, meaning, higher resolution. Press full screen to see the real difference.

  • yea the code is just &fmt=18

  • Now, not needed this code, only in old videos. Watch this:

    watch?v=LWuzaP8C9IM

  • if the button is not available you can use file2hd[dot]com to download MP4 videos from youtube... just enter the video url and set the filter to movies :)

  • my vid is not that popular yet i have the option to make it higher quality odd

  • i miss the high quality tv logos, they seem to have binned them tho!

  • the higher quality videos also have stereo audio if that hasnt been said yet

  • Unfortunately, they also have distorted audio which results in ugly clipping. This has been a bug for several months and I've reported it several times with a clear reproduction (my own videos), but haven't heard more details about a possible resolution. So it's a step forward visually, but a step back sonically. :(

  • I have a post about how you can watch ALL YouTube videos in High Quality by simply adding some code to the URL.  Copy & paste is all you need to know!

    chvnx . com

  • To get a video in higher quality, you just add "&fmt=18" to the end of the URL.

  • Awesome thanks dude.

  • No problem, but it's "dudette". lol

  • Haha. Sorry. Hey, why'd YouTube delete your account? Just wondering... I've had two videos taken down (two Laurel and Hardy 10 second clips) because they infringed copyrights, but that's pretty much the only bad experience I've had with YouTube.

    Laters,

    -b

  • I was suspended for copyright infringement. =P They removed a video and then decided to suspend my account. Youtube's been removing a lot of videos for that lately. =/ Even Smosh had a video removed! And then they pretended to get sued. lol

  • How is that higher quality?!? wtf is wrong with you

  • You can make any video play in higher quality bit rate by adding &fmt=18 to the end of the url.

  • The video stops before the time is done though

  • That's because it takes longer to download a higher quality video.

  • Why did you minus me... Retard, it stops because the bitrate:length is too long

  • Oh lord... please just fuck off. It works fine for me.

  • You a weirdo lol

  • what the fuck i just found this!!! its so fucking trippy!1!!

  • I have put links to HQ in most of my videos now

  • How?? -.-

  • I just put it in the desription

  • Or, just put &fmt=18 and the end of the URL.

  • Or just go to your account settings and set it to always play high quality video if available... No need to manually add anything to your url.

  • Guys dont you know, its not &fmt=18 for everyone, it varies for different countries! As far as I know &fmt=18 works for USA and others, but for UK like me its &fmt=6! Also it doesnt work for all videos, If you upload your videos in WMV format than this trick works, but the sound is still mono although louder! I know a way for HD vids with stereo sound (hence my name) just see my vids for prrof

  • add "&fmt=18" to the end of any youtube url and it makes the video high quality

  • Yup tested... most of the video works. Have anyone successfully able to keep the "higher quality" Youtube video via KeepVid?

    I've tried copying the link to the video with &fmt=18 code behind the url but it still keeps the same low quality...

  • how? where? in which menu?

  • click account at the top then video playback quality at the bottom right. Its been there ages cant believe people have only just figured this out =/

  • and where can i choose it that my videos can be watched in higher quality, so youtube show this: "Watch this video in higher quality." ?

  • lol 'mobilephone2003' you are soo right, ive known about those settings over a month ago! ppl just havent checked it

  • Add the short code "&fmt=18" to the end of any youtube url to make it high quality.

  • try &fmt=6

  • Add "&fmt=18" to the end of ANY youtube video and it's higher quality. :] even this one.

  • Is higher quality videos, even with "&fmt=18" in stereo, or are they still mono double?

  • not only higer bitrate its also a higher resoulution

  • Compression is an evil curse...

  • indeed

  • And STILL audio is mono...

  • yea i noticed that today. does anyone know if it will be on all videos soon.

  • my video says that

  • great :)
