I was wondering if anyone here knows the format of the high quality videos on Youtube? Previously the normal quality videos had the format of flv, but I'm not sure what format the HQ ones are. I normally extract the video from Firefox's cache and rename it to .flv for future playback, but I can't seem to do that for the high quality versions. I've tried .mp4 but I still get an error in Media Player Classic.

YouTube's high quality videos are in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format with stereo AAC audio. The MPEG-4 videos can be played by adding &fmt=18 to the web address of a video.

It was also announced in November 2008 that YouTube now offers some of its videos in true HD format, with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Videos uploaded with 720 pixel resolution can be viewed in this format by selecting the "watch in HD" option, or by adding &fmt=22 to the web address.

another player to play FLV is VLC Media Player

what version of the VCP u're using?

latest is v5.08a now (released yesterday): http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=877152

uninstall any old version, then install this new v5.08a

regards of VCP version, does this happen without any codec installed? it seems that it's more related to driver.

 

Change to:
