From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube...ty_and_codecs:

In December of 2010, YouTube got rid of the option to automatically play videos in a specific format, depending on the URL, via putting "&fmt=xx" ("xx" determines one of ten different two-digit numbers) in the URL.

And

fmt is an undocumented URL parameter that allows selecting YouTube quality mode without using player user interface. YouTube removed this option on December of 2010.
