Any YouTube experts around please?

I've been trying a tip I was given to add this string to the end of
the URL of a YouTube video, resulting in higher quality (if it's there
to start with, of course):
&fmt=18

It does seem to give higher quality playback.

I'm a YouTube novice so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but why
such an obscure way of actioning an important feature?

Also I find it odd that there's a simple one-click way to do it as you
see from my screenshot:

Yet that only appears AFTER you've added the suffix!



Wow! Not to hijack you post, but that really widens the stereo spectrum on my
cut.

"Wow!" is right, Ty. Big difference through my Sennheiser phones.
