Most videos on Youtube are FLV format. Easiest way to tell is the box that shows the video in it is the normal TV screen size. The High Definition videos may in fact be FLV format but of a different resolution. Maybe those are the FL1 format. In any case you can tell the HD videos because they are wide screen format, not normal TV screen dimensions.

Greetings,
So how do you know what format a youtube is in? How do you know if it
is a high definition video? Are those the ones that take 2 hours to
download 1.5 minutes worth?
Bright Blessings,
Kim
