find the video you are looking for and add &fmt=18 after it.

The quality is better and so is the sound.

Surely it's just uncompressed, rather than enhanced?

Yeh but the video's are usually fairly compressed when uploaded anyway to get under the youtube limit quota!

It's just annoying despite it already being compressed, youtube usually RE Compress it further making it worse quality, errors from compression worse etc.

This is ace imo, as finally I can upload a video and it be relatively normal to what I see after compression.

There is a program for windows mobile that takes the streams from before they are encoded to flash, there must be a simple way to get the high quality stuff.
