&fmt=18 equals higher youtube resolution??!?!????!!

did you guys know that if you type “&fmt=18” after the URL of any youtube video, it loads in higher quality??

I just found that out and it blows my mind. However, I feel like I’m way behind the times in this leetness.

Ok that is all. Enjoy.

it appears that the sound is improved on some videos as well… for example:

  1. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lfN21qh0QFY
  2. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lfN21qh0QFY&fmt=18

Edit: goddamnit, I meant to put this in the nerd corner… god I suck at the internets!

The URL contained a malformed video ID.

:bigclap:

TYPE WHAT’S INSIDE THE QUOTES, YOU TARDFACE. I HATE YOU!!

IM STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR!!!

AHHHHHH IT WORKS FOR ME!!!

Worked for me.

Try a link with it…

Still malformed… :frowning: maybe its the broswer

It’s possible. I’m using the latest version of Firefox.
Do they work fine without the code?

I was expecting a nice big rick rolled, but it fucking works

SOMEONE TRY THIS ON YOUPORN

Apparently, if you replace 18 with 6 it comes in even better. The difference is barely noticable when I tried it.

Still not that great of quality anyways and I couldn’t watch that terrible driver any longer.

6 is lower quality

open 2 tabs on your browser
http://youtube.com/watch?v=lfN21qh0QFY&fmt=18 on the first tab
http://youtube.com/watch?v=lfN21qh0QFY&fmt=6 on the second tab

pause both on the first frame

click back and forth between the 2, 6 is definantly lower quality

worked for me too, you just fucking suck dan, i think your brain is malformed

IT’S RIGHT ON THE YOUTUBE PAGE, DIRECTLY UNDER THE VIDEO…

Watch this video in higher quality.

:picard:
