Could you post the full verbose log with -v?

It looks like there is something related to this Stackoverflow post:

I used the command

youtube-dl -f best https://vimeo.com/24659330

It works flawlessly, the downloaded file is 1280x720 .

The option "--max-quality" has been removed for a while

#5550

Thanks, I think the problem was because I was using a old version from the repository of Ubuntu.

Version in Ubuntu's repo never works as it is hopelessly outdated. Either install it manually or use the webupd8 ppa https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/ubuntu/webupd8
