this script has 6 reviews

Tries to use highest-quality video available from YouTube (now uses mp4 videos that are available).

Some support is also included for:

Vimeo, Google Video, blip.tv, viddler

Note about codecs:

This script is not a codec converter, only a source rewriter. It changes the form of the video pages to (approximately) what they should have been in the first place. However, due to the current fragmented state of codecs on the web, you may still need a plugin (such as the VLC mozilla plugin) to view the content.
