I noticed a difference in the image more than sound. With the fly by video without that code it was kinda, pixel-y but after that code it was crystal clear to me. Same with the burnout video. :)

Maybe that sound thing was just my laptop, or did my mind believe the sound was better due to the fact that I saw a clearer image?

Here is my better fix, I posted on SF:
You can go to youtubes settings and fix this so its always best quality:
http://www.youtube.com/video_quality_settings

Save the last one.

Now try clicking the links above, you'll the little TV ICon near "Views"... saying your in HQ.

**Edit, I think it only works on certain videos that allow it**

When link to SM, since it embeds, I think it automatically plays the LOW Quality version.

Yes that can work, but a lot of people don't have youtube accounts and/or too lazy to make one or login into for the matter.

If you're someone that watches Youtube videos frequently,
I personally think it'd be a lot easier to make an account and change the setting ONCE,
Rather than add that to the end of EVERY video you watch.

Good find, though! (You don't hear me say much of anything on SF being good very often) ;)
