    Default Grabbing HD videos from YouTube

    Does anyone know how to grab a HD 720p video from YouTube? It always starts up in either 360p or 480p, same if you do a refresh after having shifted to 720p, and RMC doesn't restart the recording if you shift to 720p after it has started recording.

    Here's a sample video with the 720p option:

    If you log into your youtube account, you can change the settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/account#playback/quality

    If you don't want to register, you can still launch an HD video. Just add &fmt=22 to the URL:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&fmt=22

    I've already set playback quality at the highest, on YouTube, that doesn't help.

    But changing the link as shown does, I can see.

    Thanks!

    You can also add &hd=1 to the end of the video's URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&hd=1

    The hd has to be lower-cased letters.
