My favorites were the car mechanic, fireman, and construction worker. I definitely need such a hero… And who knew removing a wife-beater in tandem with bad ’80s-like pop music could be, oh, so erotic?
FUN FACT: YouTube sometimes would have a “Watch in High Quality” link on some videos. But, even if a video does not have that link, you can actually access it. All you need to do is add:
&fmt=18
at the end of the URL.
The video above is normally like this:
So you just add &fmt=18 at the end, like so:
Some videos might actually look worse off if the original uploads were of “poor quality” to begin with. But, I’d say that this trick makes every YouTube video a lot clearer than normal. I’m not sure why this is not the default setting.
Also, I had submitted this post on the Brotherhood of Bears Yahoo Group and I’m just going to post it here as well:

While obsessing over shotputter, Reese Hoffa, in YouTube, I noticed the “Watch In High Quality” link. Apparently, there’s a quick way to download that better quality (it’s not really high-def, as it’s more of a higher bit-rate).
Here’s a great tutorial from YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsuyMteROPAIn a nutshell, this is how you do it:
1. Here’s a sample of the Reese Hoffa video in “standard quality”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV0B2HErUQg2. All you need to do next is add &fmt=18 at the end of the URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV0B2HErUQg&;fmt=183. Copy that URL to this website:
http://keepvid.com/4. You can now download both the standard and high quality FLV files.
HOWEVER, here is an even quicker way and what I highly recommend:
*** Drag-and-drop the KEEPVID Bookmarklet to your links toolbar. ***
*** This Bookmarklet is located on the very top page of http://keepvid.com. ***That website also has a link to AVS Video Converter that could convert your FLV files to whatever format you want. The best part is that it is free. I don’t use this program so I can’t vouch as to how good it is. I normally use “YouTube FLV to AVI converter Pro” and I’m a creature of habit and refuse to change somthing that’s been working for me. 🙂
Hopefully this was useful in some way!
