How to Watch Youtube Videos in HD

Above is the supposedly HD version of The Dark Knight (Batman Begins Sequel) trailer. If you have an eye for these things, they have a little line under (some of) the videos asking if you want to view them in High Def or not. Basically, if you don’t want to ask Youtube’s permission to do so, or just don<t want them to tell you what to do (hip hop mentality), all you have to do is add “&fmt=18″ at the end of the link and voila.

Edit: I just double-checked, this video didn’t have that indication under it so it must be as HD as it can get. Still, I just thought I’d take this opportunity to show the world I got 5 million hits on Youtube (c) Ricky Gervais.  But:

    [...] Drag that up to your bookmarks bar, and you should be able to click it when you’re at a Youtube video page to access the high-resolution H.264 stream. It’s a bookmarklet I put together after reading about the existence of the streams at the Weapons of Mass Destruction Blog. [...]
