I think what you're trying to say is that YouTube videos displayed within the N900's web browser playback with a lower video quality then those viewed via the cutetube application.
If that's the case, then it's probably due to the fact that the N900 browser will also be fed the lowest bit rate version of any you tube video you try to watch with it.
You Tube makes available several different quality playback options for videos uploaded to it's site. All the way from 720P down to 320i ( I think ). I don't know if it checks your browser's user agent or the hex stringed version of your flash plugin, but it somehow makes an independant decision of which quality video to playback through your web browser and that's what you get.
In the case of desktop browsers, you can toggle between multiple video settings in the video window, but for some reason or other on the N900's browser only the lowest quality video is displayed.
cutetube and other applications like it get around this by polling the youtube video database directly and by-passing any browser/plugin check sums that youtube subjects browser based viewers to.
