I think that Youtube starts streaming at a lower quality and 
finishes playing some amount of the lower quality buffer before 
switching to the higher quality stream.  If you kept watching the 
Youtube video, it should have gotten better.  If you switch to 
higher quality, then seek back to the beginning of the video, it 
will start in the higher quality.
