By default youtube-dl provides wide range of options to select specific format, however -
-f bestnot always downloads best quality video. I have tried quite many other alternatives, but if you specify-f bestvideo, bestaudio- then audio is download in separate from video, or you need to have ffmpeg toolset installed.I would prefer that it would be possible to select best video and preserve any audio, which was originally in youtube video.
youtube-dl.exe -f "(mp4)[width>=1920],keep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_t3w_jyrGQhere is an example of command line, from my perspective it should download best video, and preserve audio. External tools (ffmpeg) should not be required.
