What does "discontinued" mean? I tried Googling about for some
announcement or other info on just Google did, but didn't come up
with anything. Does Google just ignore this &fmt tag now?
We're talking about YouTube, not Google. There is a difference.

Note the footnotes after the codec chart. "discontinued" means the
tag is no longer supported. You can stick it in the url, but it
makes no difference anymore. I'm guessing that since YouTube videos
now play on my older Macs without that tag, they are perhaps doing
some sniffing of the processor type and speed from JavaScript and
adjusting accordingly.
