YouTube HD (almost)

So I'm sure you're like me; a kind soul patiently awaiting the unveiling of YouTube HD.

Yes or no, there is an intermediate fix that has been out a couple months. If you add the following text " &fmt=18 " to the end of a youtube video url you'll get a higher quality video.

In other words, open a youtube video, paste &fmt=18 onto the end of the address, and hit refresh. It's internet magic!

I tried it on several videos and it clearly works. Very cool. Here's a live version of one of my favorite songs for proof. Spread the love.

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Wake Up and Live (The Legend Live DVD, 11.25.79)
