Comments on: YouTube videos go HD with a simple hack

Want to host high-definition videos on YouTube? No problem. Just get your copy-and-paste skills ready because all it requires is changing the video's URL!

How do you watch it full screen? The usual option is not there.

The quality is amazing. I had uploaded one of my HD videos earlier but using the "&fmt=22" add-on sure took it up a notch.

'&fmt=22' no longer necessary.
'watch in HD' link is now provided.

Great, now I get to see all these fools that post stupid videos of themselves, in HD.
