<BR /><DIV>
we're moving the Subject here.
</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
It seems that YouTube is currently offering Higher Quality (up to 850 kbit/s A+V) videos to certain locations only.
</DIV>

You can see if your video has the different versions offered by YouTube, by adding "&fmt=6" to the end of the URL,
<BR /><DIV>
like in this example:
</DIV>

<A class="postlink" target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKw7mu6lzso" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKw7mu6lzso</A>

yields low quality 320x240, while

<A class="postlink" target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKw7mu6lzso&fmt=6" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKw7mu6lzso&fmt=6</A>
<BR /><DIV>
gives you high-res high-bandwidth material.
</DIV>

This also makes uploading in FLV format a questionable activity, since obviously YT will convert your video in more than 1 version so they can decide which one to offer to the viewer.
