Do you know there is an easy hack to watch high definition (HD) video on Youtube? Simply add &fmt=22 at the end of the url in the address bar while you are watching a video on youtube.

&fmt=22

If youtube has not already processed the HD version of the video, it might take approx 15 mins to the video HD playback. HD or high quality video are those that have 720 progressive scans (720p). They are ideal to playback on resolution monitors such as 1280×720. Youtube also converts the HD video to H.246 for playback on TiVo and Iphones.

However to play the HD Video you need to have faster processor and enough RAM on your system.
