Hi,

i need, and i think others too, a script, which modifies a youtube url. I you add at the end of youtube url &fmt=18 you will get better video and audio quality.

Look here for diference:

new: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xz3Zi9Drh0&fmt=18
old: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xz3Zi9Drh0

wow, thats fast, thank you Yansky, it works very good.
little problem appears if i try to go back, the script force me again forward. so i need go 2 steps back.

I've updated it so that you shouldn't need to go 2 steps back now. :)

fantastic, works very good now. :)

but there is a little problem. not with the script, but with youtube. some videos are not available in higher quality. so i have to disable greasemonkey for these videos, go back and load the site again.

i dont know, wich solution is the best. maybe a link to lower quality in the near of the video window.

Is there any way to grab the video from the high-res page and replace it with the one on the low res page? This way, there wouldn't be a flicker of the page.

I've added HD support to YousableTubeFix (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/13333). Thanks leeresblatt for the hint, I didn't know about the fmt parameter ;-)
