Hi, I'm using youtube-dl.exe daily, and it's been working like magic for some time now. With ffmpeg.exe, I use a command line like this:
youtube-dl.exe -v -x --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX10mR_N0Vs
, converts the downloaded video to mp3, for listening in the car.
But sometimes I'd like to keep the default video. I tried removing the -x, but then it doesn't do the conversion. I've looked through the docs at https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#format-selection, but I'm sorry I can't glean how to retain both the .mp3 and the .mp4 or whatever the default format is.
Can someone supply an example command line that will do the conversion as above, but also leave the video on the drive?
Thanks and regards,
