Unfortunately, this HQ change doesn't apply to ALL videos, so beware! But if your favorite video needs some spicing up, try adding in the code to the end of the URL =P. And please note if you youtube hotlink those better videos, they will reconvert back into sub-part versions. Only works for the main site.
Basically you are just activating that new "View in Higher Quality" link, when it's not available to use.

so, what does the '=18' means?
I suppose that 'fmt' is 'format' but why 18?

If you're comparing it with other videos on YT, that'd be HQ =P
But since it looks like we're comparing this to HD 1080p, then I guess it's barely-not-crap quality
