format choosing option "bestvideo[height>=xxxx]" not working as expected for one Youtube video

[picseloy]

Hello, folks.

First, thanks to all the contributors to this nice piece of software, I'm much indebted to it, with rtmpdump not functioning at all on my Windows 7 PC for unknown reasons.

I will report an issue with the windows build of youtube-dl I've just upgraded some minutes ago (version 2015.05.20).

First, the url of the Youtube video in question is as follows :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCrhbBxsjA

The list of video formats given by the command
youtube-dl.exe -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCrhbBxsjA
is :

22           mp4        1280x720   (best) 

Now, I want to download this video 'only if' it is available in 1440p or a higher resolution, so I run the following command:
youtube-dl.exe -f "bestvideo[height>=1440]+bestaudio" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCrhbBxsjA

the maximum height available for this video is 1280, so I expected that it would not be downloaded, but against my intuition, youtube-dl started to download a video file with a size of 74.1mb(which must be the following format, considering its size):
264 mp4 720x1280 DASH video 4183k , 30fps, video only, 74.10MiB

Not only is the height condition mismatched, but it isn't the best video format either; the video format whose height is 1280(maximum) which has the highest bitrate is 271 :
271 webm 720x1280 DASH video 4939k , 30fps, video only, 81.73MiB

Actually, the command
youtube-dl.exe -f "bestvideo[height>=xxxx]+bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCrhbBxsjA
with xxxx replaced by anything higher than 1280 seems to try to fetch that same video file with a size of 74.1mb.

youtube-dl.exe -f "bestvideo[height>=1280]+bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQCrhbBxsjA
seems to finally select the video format with a size of around 81mb (probably 271 listed above), which is a behavior that I can understand.

Should this be considered a bug, or am I missing something?
If the latter is true, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for the report.
