This is just a downloader. It does not convert or mux anything. You might use

|
|
|
ffmpeg or mkvmerge to convert/remux downloaded videos.

It seems that not all YouTube videos work anymore. Since this is mainly a
|
|
|
|
|
learning/test project for me I currently have no intention to fix it.

|
|
|
The downloader allows to download any quality, including the HD qualities. However
|
|
|
|
|
1080p streams (and above) are only provided as video-only or audio-only stream
|
|
|
|
|
by YouTube which currently need to be downloaded separately and then muxed together.
