No difference for me. I tried with two vids, no change in resolution.

 

Think this only works if the source material was uploaded in higher rez to begin with.

I checked with another forum.

 

It appears that when YouTube upgraded their flash streaming video, the higher resolution capability bumped up previously posted videos (that were uploaded in higher resolution than original 320x240 ) in higher picture quality. Those that were uploaded with the lower pixel count will remain that way and not upscaled.
