If you are unimpressed by the substandard quality of videos available at YouTube, think again since it may no longer hold true. Youtube videos till now could be watched only at a resolution of 320x240. Now if you just append &fmt=6 at the end of video's url, the resolution increases to 448x336! Add &fmt=18 and get an mp4 encoded video and 480X360 resolution!! However there exists an obvious trade-off between video quality and its bandwidth. So be sure, what you want to prioritize.
If the video's url is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjzLUYJQoY8
simply append &fmt=6 at the end of url as
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjzLUYJQoY8&fmt=6
and you get 448x336 resolution video.
Check out one such 480X360 resolution video :

The trick seems to work with newly posted videos.
