when downloading -f worst or "-f worst-audio+worst-video/worst" it downloads first format

that has both audio and video,

but smallest audio size plus size of smallest video is much smaller than that

I think a feature that can download smallest both and combine them perhaps would be desirable

for backup archive purposes (of the knowledge)

perhaps by running ffmpeg externally

thanks
