Re: Looking for a good YouTube downloader

For example, this video has a 640x480 video stream but the "best" option doesn't download it. It downloads the 480x360 mp4.





Haven't looked at the code to see what's going on ....

But a reply here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31631535/youtube-dl-dash-video-and-audio-in-highest-quality-without-human-intervention

hints at a similar problem and YouTube-DL seemed to select best based on bitrate over resolution:

I've found some weird cases where the default (see #5447, #5456) bestvideo+bestaudio/best would download 720p video even when a 1080p was available. The reason that the bitrate on the 720p was very slightly higher, therefore it seemed better quality for youtube-dl. I prefer the higher res, also all other fancy youtube downloader applications downloaded the 1080p (as control).

Therefore I propose and use this:

-f ("bestvideo[width>=1920]"/bestvideo)+bestaudio/best
