Description

Say I want to download all videos from a YouTube channel that have a format code 22 or less.

I use a command like this:

youtube-dl -i -f 22/135+140 -o "i:/Downloads/%(uploader)s%(title)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/user/booksofscience/videos

Problem is, when it finds a video with the format code 22 which is a single 720p file with audio already in it, it still downloads a separate .m4a audio file and than merges it with the corresponding video file. This is redundant and there should be an option to skip it. It should ONLY download audio for files that are video only, such as the ones with the format code 135.

-f 22/135+140 will not download separate m4a audio if 22 is available.
