It has only worked for me on one video, but for others it works on all videos. I don't know why, but try your luck, hopefully it'll work for you.
To watch a YouTube clip in high quality you can add one of two text strings to the end of the video.
Low Quality - add nothing
Med Quality - add "&fmt=18" (without quotation marks)
High Quality - add "&fmt=6" (doesn't usually work)
Example;
Low - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xz3Zi9Drh0
Medium - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xz3Zi9Drh0&fmt=18
The above video didn't work for me (but has worked for many others :groan
, but if it does work for you it'll give you a good insight into the quality difference since it's a fast paced animation with a lot of pixelation.
