High definition isn't always available and must be user activated. Clicking on the resolution under the video may allow you to select another definition. 360p appears to be the usual default resolution.

Full screen appears to be a combination of the full screen button under the video and the browser's full screen option. I have a wide screen that is full.

Don't forget to pick up the cookie at http://www.youtube.com/html5
or add &html5=True to the end of the video's address.

Videos made for HD look better than the converted old movies.

Have fun.

I had 5 youtube cookies and I never allow youtube/Google cookies except the ones connected to the HTML5 experiment. I checked each cookie carefully and what I saw made me decide to boycott HTML5 at youtube just as I boycott Flash there. I deleted all of the youtube cookies. I closed Opera and restarted it. I then went to the youtube HTML5 experiment page again and it said I was not enrolled (I had enrolled again earlier when I was checking the youtube cookies and I did NOT get another cookie when enrolling). Now, all the youtube cookies are deleted. I reenrolled in the HTML5 experiment and I tried playing one of the webM videos. It knew that I had played that video several days ago. It must be keeping cookies elsewhere besides my browser. This is the kind of crap I can't stand with Flash Player and the reason I don't have Flash Player except on IE6 and IE6 can't play youtube videos as Google won't let it. I use Flash Player only for speed tests (and a rare video such as "Don't Touch My Junk" that I can play away from youtube) because I hate having to constantly monitor Flash player for how sneaky it is about cookies and settings, etc. I though HTML5 would be different. Naive of me I suppose.

I later temporarily allowed youtube to add the cookies back (the ones I can see and control in the browser) and I see that one of them is a list of all HTML5 videos I have played at youtube. So, there are two sets of cookies and both of them retain lists of everything you play. I don't know where to find the second set of cookies so I can get rid of them. I suppose they are in some Flash Player like settings? UGH. Not worth it. I had expected better things of HTML5.

Anyhow, none of the cookies have anything to do with being logged into the HTML5 experiment. That appears to log you out when you close the tab or the browser.

I did get full screen working and now I remember as you said higher than 360p should show as a choice if it is available and I didn't see anything available on the ones I played. What makes HTML5 better than Flash is the sound. It is far superior to what you get with Flash at least on this computer.
