The quality really depends on the video your viewing, in the general though quality isnt amazing. 2.1 should bring with it a better youtube app.
start the video go still then press menu click on more you will get the option watch in hi quality.....i dont make sense the way they made it but hell you will have to do that on each video lol

It's like that when you are on 3G because not everyone got a fast 3G connection. When you are on WIFI it will switch to HQ by default.

Hello. Bare with me, Im just a lowly newb. Does installing wifi tethering have any effect on how the phone plays videos, say from YouTube? Is It similair to the My 3G app the iphone guys have? If it doesnt is there an app for us andriod to users that make video quality better? Thanks!!
It has no effect on how videos are played, and HQ on youtube to allow better quallity

Could you elaborate on the "HQ"? Is that an app or option on the phone? Please pardon my lack of knowledge! Thanks!
No its on the app itself, open youtube press the menu button, check the first one(enable high quallity, something like that)

Yah, you will either need the Evo version in the app/themes section or the gingerbread version.
Both of them have been working fine for me, but some people have reported problems on them on some occasions. Either way there is an option to set to high quality in the options menu.

youtube videos and other streaming video websites look like absolute crap on this phone! its hard to see anything at all. everything is all pixelated.
I have used the youtube app, dolphin, and skyfire(for flash videos) and it all looks the same.
what gives?!!
Hmmm....HQ settings in YouTube app ftw?

ya but why would i need to do this. this also wont fix other streaming videos
Well, no Android phone is going to give you hq video in the browser. So....sorry?
Also, I'm not understanding why you don't understand why the hq video setting should be needed on the youtube client...
Maybe you are confused and didn't realize that it defaults to hq only on wifi?

who is they. i put that thar
Figured with all the snow we got, and salt on my car it was time to get it washed.
So i tested my Atrix Recording out with 720p.
Its the whole car wash, so if you dont want to watch/listen you get the idea of how clear and awesome it is, give it, to atleast 1:55 seconds
Atrix Video Recording Test Make sure to change it to 720p, It Matters!
Regards,
Killster
that there is nice Awesome in 720 just not a big Motorola fan lol
That background music was great...well, at least until 1:55!
Who's the artist?

it was just what was playing while i was in the car wash..
the bass sounds horrible, the phone just cant handle it, i have 2 x 12" Kicker CVX in the trunk.

+1. It's pretty dumb to disable it for viewing on mobile phones.

got same message here also. Tried to watch it on my iPad. But I was able to watch other Atrix 4g 720p test videos and quality is great. Looks even better playing on my IPad IPS screen.
Hey. I'm new here Thought i'd see if you guys could answer a question for me.
I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what the resolution of videos playing in the nexus 10 youtube app are? I haven't actually got my nexus yet, but I imagine it's the same as my S3, where the player only has a "SD" and "HD" option.
Is the HD just equivilent to 720p? Or will it choose the highest possible resolution for the video? I'm asking this because watching youtube videos in 1080p would be really nice
Thanks!
I am curious too since it does not lt you select.
Pretty sure it's 720p on the app for HD.
I'll do a test when I get home later.
I've been wondering that too
Youtube app will render videos to Hd720p. If you want full 1080p you'll have to use the browser.

Thanks for the replies.
That's annoying Would be nice if google could update the app for tablets so we can view 1080p videos without having to use the browser.
Google should update the app and give you the option because the browser page is not good in my opinion slow laggy and hard to use with a touch screen.
Why make a Google product and then hinder it with low quality video stream. Honestly its one thing that annoys me with with his tablet how soft videos look from the YouTube app. It does not do this amazing tablet justice , lucky I have nice images to look at lol

Yup, 720p only.
Your right! I did not know that. Google does own youtube since 2005 from what I read.

Its not Google that needs to update, it's YouTube. Google isnt responsible for apps not made by them.
Youtube just needs to start jumping on the band wagon and start supporting higher res streaming.

If google says jump, youtube says how high. They are their subsidiary.
With the Nexus 10 and its supreme display resolution I guess we can expect an update to the YouTube app pretty soon. I expect a 1080p option.
Yes, 1600p would be nice but don't forget at this resolution/bitrate many people won't be able to stream it anymore, at least not in an acceptable time frame.

How many people are tethering often enough to worry about that? I have a first batch Nexus 10, and I've always just used it on Wi-Fi.

It was a sarcastic question hence the face. Thanks for joining in on the conversation.
Nexus 10 doesn't come with radio for data hence me asking as if his Nexus 10 did.
I hope this explanation clears things up for you so you aren't confused by sarcasm.
Yeah it would be nice if they updated the app, but I suppose 720p isn't too bad on a 10 inch screen anyway.
Youtube only supports up to 2048x1536 at the moment anyway. Hopfully 1600p youtube will come eventually
Youtube 720p looks surprisingly good on the N10 to me. If they add a 1080p option I definitely hope 720p is still selectable.

Well, let me answer with some numbers:
I have a really high quality video on my N10 (the Timescape Trailer), it's 1440p and 33.5 mbit/sec worth of data.
Even with high compression a 1600p video would be like 10-20 mbit/sec or around 40 mbit/sec in very high quality.
