http://digg.com/tech_news/YouTube_Testing_HD_Just_add_fmt_18_to_a_video_s_URL

So I searched around, didn't see a thread on this, and then I realized I didn't know how to make a new thread either. :O

Anyway, its only enabled on some videos, and its a pretty large difference. It still isn't good enough so that you can full screen it, but if you compare the small window quality, you'll be able to see it right away.

The annoying part is finding videos that actually have this enabled. Here's one that I found:

compared to:
dinot vs. jf game 3 regular quality

this has been around for quite a while. it's not actually hd, it's just a different codec that sucks less (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264). edit: well actually there may be a resolution difference, but not a very significant one. I just wish they streamed high-res divx like stage 6
All you need in life is a strong will to succeed and unrelenting determination. If you meet these prerequisites, you can become anything you want with absolutely no luck, fortune or natural ability.

If this was possible then I would stop downloading VODs from the tracker altogether D:

i think youtube even made this official by having a "standard quality" and "high quality" settings as options for some videos

They've been doing this for a while, under settings you can select "choose higher resolution if available" or something like that.
