No 1080p Audio

[fishcharlie]

Why does it seem like there is always no audio for the 1080p versions of videos? 720p seems like the highest that includes audio.

that's how youtube organizes their formats. they have formats with both video and audio, usually the highest at 720p. and then they have separate formats for high bitrate video and audio. youtube plays these together on their website

@fent Any tools to combine them locally? I’m assuming I could download the audio and video separately then use a video editing tool to combine them. But anything to do it easier that you are aware of?

check out ffmpeg

there's also pully, another cli for downloading youtube videos that supports joining formats together
