View higher quality YouTube videos

YouTube has recently started offering videos in higher quality since they get a lot of complaints about how bad their video quality is. If you are looking at a video and you want to see it in higher quality, go to the address bar in your browser and add this to the end of the URL:

&fmt=18

This won't work for all videos since only newer videos have the higher quality encoding available. But adding it won't break anything either.
