You misunderstood me. I know that HD videos can have any container (my fav is mkv). What I meant to say was that the HD videos in YouTube have a .mov format (they provide 3gp,flv,mp4 and mov formats). So, if the downloaded video from youtube isn’t .mov it isnt HD.

@Pallab HD videos are not .mov they can be anything including .avi .mpeg or anything, HD videos are high quality videos that play clearly on HD based systems, you might want to check this wikipedia article about HD videos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_video

Thnx for the info.
HD VIdeos are .mov. So yeah if it only downloads FLV it is downloading the low quality videos.

@Pallab It usually downloads FLV files so it’s mostly likely not going to be HD videos, that is what I think, haven’t downloaded any HD videos yet though to confirm

While downloading from YouTube which version does it download? HD or the normal?
