Download helper question

Mystified · 2013-11-11 17:31:05

I have begun using a Firefox Addon, Downloadhelper, to download YouTube files. When I click on the download button I get various versions of the file designated as (in square brackets before the name) [Medium], [HQ5],[HQ6],[Mobile[. What do these mean? Which one do I choose?

I'd go for the .mp4 medium/HQ ones usually. Generally bigger size=better quality!
