Submission + - Youtube finally fixes HD problem
Anonymous Coward writes: "In the last few days, YouTube have fixed the issue whereby HD videos
stream in lower quality than standard definition unless the HD
button is clicked.
Now, without clicking the HD button, HD streams in high quality and in the standard screen size.
The feature does not appear to work with existing HD content, only for newly uploaded files.
