I would like to download a Youtube video with its best resolution and audio. I ran the following to see my options:

youtube-dl -F [URL]

I received the following: http://i.imgur.com/162PZzj.png

From the picture, you can see that the best resolution this video provides is 480p. However, if I want to download the video and audio in one .mp4 file, I have to settle for 360p. I am just curious why this is.

If you install ffmpeg, youtube-dl will automatically download and merge the DASH video and audio formats. See the FORMATS SELECTION docs for more info.
