Utter garbage.

YouTube encode their videos in multiple formats - they added H.264 (HTML5) some time ago, and recently added VP8/WebM. This is all in addition to Flash format. YouTube then serve up whatever format is most suitable for your browser, with Flash usually being the lowest common denominator.
