The flash player does have different bitrates;
highest_16x9
high_16x9
medium_16x9
low_16x9
lowest_16x9

The html5 player has only the best bitrate, highest_16x9 (540p). This is the best they offer on any player.

That video doesn't have the html5 player. The pid is different for the flash player vs the html5 player, and there is also a parent pid that gives both of the child pids for both flash and html5. You could inject the parent pid for this old video into the html5 player for a newer video and it will work, but that would be mind-numbingly tedious to do for a lot of videos. Better to wait and see if they update the old videos with the new html5 player.
