Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Reddit videos do not seem to be downloading at their highest quality at the moment. Using yt-dlp seems to only download a 720p version while the reddit API shows that there is a 1080p version which can also be downloaded using a third party site such as https://viddit.red/

Video in question that the download was attempted on: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/xwm9wm/russian_draftees_exasperated_abandoned_left_in/ (Does happen with others as well)

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

If so, that's good and this can be closed. I did try searching but must have missed it as not used to the github titles and stuff. Should have looked closer. Thanks :)
