OVER 9000!
This allows for more features and for things to run better...
Some of the new features are Changing the speed of video playback, saving the video (downloading it from youtube itself), and a better way to view full screen videos.
Just a little bit about HTML5;

It is the latest revision of the HTML standard (originally created in 1990) and currently remains under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers etc.).
few lines later in the same article...
In particular, HTML5 adds many new syntactical features. These include the <video>, <audio>, and <canvas> elements, as well as the integration of SVG content. These features are designed to make it easy to include and handle multimedia and graphical content on the web without having to resort to proprietary plugins and APIs.

Basically it allows media like video streaming, audio and other things without the use of plugins like adobe flash player/shockwave.
It's really cool and I suggest checking it out, it doesn't work on videos with ads yet though, and not on old web browsers.
My favourite part is definitely the new full screen viewing mode, what it does is instead of taking up the whole screen it takes up only all of the inside area, so you can keep your tabs and see the rest of the screen still.
There are more details over at You must login or register to view this content. be sure to check it out and try it for yourself!

Something else about it, that is pretty tight, is that that red bar at the bottom of the video, fills up all the way, almost instantly. So you can easily skip to your favorite part of the video or w/e
