I think Youtube is testing some higher quality video rendering, or something like that. Some folks noticed that if you add a query to the url, after the video id, you get a higher quality. It’s like a better DVD.

Just add “&fmt=18” (or 6) whitout the qoutes behind the video’s url and notice the different. Of course it works only if the original source had a bigger resolution too.

Spot the difference:
Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MjTb5A68VA
High Quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MjTb5A68VA&fmt=18

(And remember: don’t watch this alone :) )

 

SCADshorts: Pencil Face
Oh, I hate and love these surreal freak short films at the same time. Pencil face scares the shit out of me.
