I'm not proficient in YT formats, but here's a cit from the code

        '38': 'video', # You actually don't know if this will be MOV, AVI or whatever

Wikipedia says that this should be mp4, and it looks to me like mp4. In any case, especially for Windows users, it .mp4 may be beneficial even if it is not actually an mp4, since the video player associated with the file can most likely deal with it, whereas .video will usually not be assigned to anything.

Beginning with the next release, we'll use the .mp4 extension and see if anything breaks.
