Hey everyone.

I know a trick to use with youtube to get higher quality videos with stereo sound.

Just add "&fmt=18" to the end of the video URL, the picture quality with be much clearer, and the video will have stereo sound. With some videos it doesn't make much of a difference, but it works very well with others.

For example, you can easily see the difference with this video.

Normal: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BT_45XGhE1o
High Quality: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BT_45XGhE1o&fmt=18

enjoy

I mostly use youtube for listening to music while I do other things, I don't usually watch it though.
