Youtube stores the video in the resolution that you upload it in. Most videos are uploaded at 325x420 or something like to take advantage of the small resolution so they aren't going to get any better. Almost no videos are uploaded in widescreen because there wasn't really a point because it would lose quality once youtube compresses it into the little small viewing box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3RJiLa5RnE

not sure if this is old or part of the new HD shit.
&fmt=22 gives you the highest quality possible that video is viewable with.
i always thought &fmt=18 was the only one

There are some videos that take up the entire space. I guess it matters what video your watching.

Yeah, if the video was rendered in 16:9 then they fill the whole thing. But sadly most people use movie maker and or sony vegas youtube button and it auto puts it in 4:3.

&fmt=22 actually plays it off of the original uploaded source.

like x-lax said, &fmt=22 does not change the quality (from what i see at least).
&fmt=18 is still the only that that gives the highest quality possible.

Actually, &fmt=22 does give you the highest quality. &fmt=22 plays off of the original file that was uploaded.
