To any youtube link, append &fmt=18 to get a higher quality version (in most cases). As I understood it, it shows the originally uploaded movie instead of the converted low version it usually shows. Maybe it's common knowledge, but I just (happily) heard of it :)
How deliciously coincident..
I actually place YouTube on the very top of my own Top 10 List of the Most Useless Things On The Internet.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. Just couldn't resist it, giving the recent discussion. Won't bother again.

search youtube for TED talks, that should change your mind.
You mean, other than going here?Quote:

the wonderful search engine of course </sarcasm>
on a more serious note, youtube is a great way for people and small sites to host videos that they normally wouldn't have the bandwidth for. I do agree that most of the content on there is crap though.
Yes, but without YouTube, we wouldn't have the wonderful "Leave Brittney Alone" video! Wait, I think I'm proving your point instead of countering it...
Youtube is a good place to listen to music for free (without stealing it) as long as you minimize the crappy anime montage that goes along with it.
And don't mind the sound quality being equivalent to a 30 year old AM Radio...Quote:
