Hi. How do you set youtube-dl to download only 720p, or find the next best quality automatically, and save it with video and audio as an mp4 file from youtube? I'm using "--format "bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio"" but it's saving it as an mkv file. Thanks.

You must specify formats compatible to merge in order not to merge in mkv or use best. Read FAQ.
