Thanks for the heads-up!
BTW, if anyone wants to improve the quality of the YouTube videos (in the case of the above vids, it will improve the sound quality), just add the following to the URLs posted above:
&fmt=18

Rudy what does fmt=18 really do? What does it stand for and why 18?
Thanks
Thanks
On older videos, using this trick activates the higher quality mode even if there's no link to "watch in high quality" so that's why you should add the codes whenever you can.
I have no idea why it's the number 6 or 18. There may be other modes but only Google knows for sure...

Adding "&fmt=18" (or "&fmt=6") to any YouTube URL will show the video in "high quality" (if it exists.) In case you haven't noticed, on newer YouTube videos, there is now a link that says "watch in high quality" which toggles a better quality video stream. (I'm not 100% sure but to be more accurate, I think mode '18' shows an iPod compatible version (mp4) and mode '6' shows the high resolution version.)
