The error message is clear enough.

[samitc]

But there is available formats.
If I do -F it is shows me there is one format (number 0) and if instead of best I am write 0 it download the video successfully.
I think it is obvious that there is some available formats.

[dstftw]

So what? See what you request with format selector, there is no filesize metadata thus no formats satisfying your request that is clearly stated in the error message.

[samitc]

But when I download the video it writes the file size in the progress bar.

[dstftw]

Again: It's not available as metadata until you start downloading.
