Description

On sites such as musicaldown.com (among many similar ones), you have the option to download HD version of any TikTok video, that usually has 6x times the bitrate than the best version downloaded by yt-dlp. You can check the example URL - the best yt-dlp can do is ~2mb without watermark and the HD version from musicaldown is nearly 10 times that at 20mb. also, ~500kb overall bitrate vs ~5700kb for the HD version.

Is there a way to include this "HD" version in the format selection of yt-dlp when downloading single TikTok videos?

Here is the current format list with the example video:

@MinePlayersPE Can you provide an example please? I've been trying using this parameter ratio=default with no success. Thank you

Any update on this? I’m also currently using musicaldown website to get the highest quality HD version.

Note: the method was patched and all the sites I've found are either broken or now serving the best h264 format from the mobile API (which yt-dlp can extract already)
EDIT: in case anyone needs a tl;dr rundown, aweme/v1/play now requires the file_id param, which directly corresponds to the (transcoded) video file and not just the video format

I personally noticed the difference - i.e. I could tell which video had the higher resolution and bitrate - but I'm sure it isn't that noticeable in some videos

Yes, for sure - for some videos the difference is not really obvious, but I remember one pretty special case - a music video by a singer named Tate McRae that was released on TikTok as an official video (US geoblock). Now, the standard, non-watermarked version is ~20mb, but the HD version (original file) was a whopping 900MB!

File size                   : 901 MiB
Duration                    : 2 min 30 s
Overall bit rate mode       : Variable
Overall bit rate            : 50.3 Mb/s

So yeah, in cases like these the "HD" download was really useful...

I found a new way to download the video in original quality, but it is impossible to publish it because publishing it may soon be fixed by TT.

I have put it in my API, you can try it

This was partially addressed by c2a1bdb, which extracts transcoded 1080p formats for some videos, but not the "original"/"source" HD formats that are available for most videos. Keeping this issue open, since better quality is possible, we just don't know how to get it yet.

these may help until it's fixed: -f 'best[format_note!*=watermarked]' --format-sort filesize
