hey all... I was just curious to whether or not there is any possible way to view youtube movies on edge at wifi quality... I know it would take a lot longer for the video to load but I'm willing to wait... Is there an option, a mod, or anything at all that can allow me to achieve this?
YouTube videos at WiFi quality?

What are you talking about? The videos are the same quality whether you are connected to edge or wifi. They don't magically become better quality when you get connected to wifi. Just pause the video and wait for the whole thing to buffer before you play it.
The iPhone compresses the pixels on the videos when it detects youre watching it off an edge connection theres no way around that... Thats why im asking if theres a solution
I hope you are kidding.. Its been proven YouTube videos when on the Edge network are compressed for a faster download which results in poor quality.. WiFi makes them look crystal clear
I think it was a bug, but the very first time I loaded a youtube video and it came out in great quality. From then on it was in that more compressed quality. I remember I was so amazed the first time I loaded a youtube video on edge and I was like WOW FAST GREAT QUALITY! lol I didn't even notice a download speed difference. I think it would have been better for them to increase the quality a little bit.
Of coarse i do, so what your saying is AT&T convert all the videos on the fly on AT&T servers when it detects an EDGE connection. LOL. after Apple have converted all flv content to H264 codec it gets converted again to what format?
umm watching youtube with wifi is a whole lot better than over edge. thats why i rarely use youtube unless im in wifi range.
Is not AT&T but YouTube that does it... it was huge when it was announced.. Can't believe some people don't know this.
I can't believe some people can't notice... there is a huge difference in quality.
