The combined file size and audio the same size, which is why? Plagued many days, and have tried various methods

[jaimeMF]

Please post the output of youtube-dl -f 137+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHDtXqjgEj4 --verbose.

By the way: it seems you are running youtube-dl with the root user, don't do that, bad things can happen. You should only need to use root when updating.

Thank you, this is just a test system

[jaimeMF]

Could you run avconv -y -i 'Bruno Mars - Gorilla [Official Music Video]-AHDtXqjgEj4.f137.mp4' -i 'Bruno Mars - Gorilla [Official Music Video]-AHDtXqjgEj4.f140.m4a' -c copy 'Bruno Mars - Gorilla [Official Music Video]-AHDtXqjgEj4.mp4'(that's what youtube-dl uses for merging the formats) and post the output?, probably you have a version of avconv too old for merging the DASH formats.

About using the root user, I wouldn't use it, but it's up to you.

Thanks

The avconv version is too old, you'll need to get a newer version (in 10.* it works fine).

[phihag]

Can we detect this error case? If so, youtube-dl should at least warn, if not error out, and provide useful instructions.

[jaimeMF]

We could just run avconv -version and check if it's not too old, but we would need to know in which version they added support for the DASH formats. The same should be done for ffmpeg.
