We have been uploading movies to YouTube and although they play after a few minutes on the computer it takes a day or two before they play on our iPhones. That is because the uploaded movie is being encoded to H264 which is what the iPhone requires. The video quality on the iPhone is much better and the Audio is much better and stereo. It is a shame that you cannot select this option on the Computer. YouTube is using higher quality video compression but you only see it if you have an iPhone. We

I examined the raw data download from a "fmt=6" URL and according to the meta data the format is actually On2's VP6 codec. Furthermore, the data *inside* the downloaded data indicates that it is created from one "vp.video.google.com" domain. The "fmt=18" is not the same data, either.
