I purchased a Samsung Blu-Ray external burner with which there is the PowerDVD installation disc. I had installed te K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, WMPTagPlus, WMPCDText e Windows Media Player Plus!, to make my good old Windows Media Player fully functional with every audio/video files. I admired the SRS Wow sound and I never loved the desperate VLC. I try PowerDVD and I remain impressied! I try YouTube with videos in 144p/240p/360p and I'm impressed! The problem arises on videos in 480p! There is only the option of 360p and it seems to me a joke downscaling a video from 480p to 360p and then it bring it in 720p with TrueThaeter Enhancer! Is it an API problem, or something went wrong in the installation?

Hi,

I noticed that too that not all the original YouTube resolutions are available sometimes. Though, why in this day and age would you be worried about 480p, when better resolutions are available? Personal choice I guess.

Anyway...can you share which YouTube video you were trying and only received 360p and 720p?
