According to
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/03/youtube-tests-higher-resolution-videos.
html

it is possible to get higher resolution youtube-videos (and better audio as
well. How about a choice in navi-x? Hi-res youtube and low-res youtube?

The summary as found on lifehacker.com:
YouTube announced in November that they would be testing out encoding
videos at higher resolutions (and with higher-quality audio encoding). Now
it appears that a small sampling of uploaded videos can already be seen at
their higher resolutions, simply by adding a little tag to the end of the
video's URL. To get a (slightly noticeable) bump in resolution, try adding
&fmt=6 to the end of the address line. The trick, according to YouTube
watchers, seems to work primarily with newer videos, and bumps the
resolution from 320x240 to 448x336. Add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL, and
you might get an MP4-encoded version, with better audio and a 480x360
resolution.
