Need help to download video

[aruwin]

Hi!
The highest resolution of this video is 1080p but when I used youtubedl to download it, it only gives me a 720p video.

I used this code:
youtube-dl -f best+best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro95_6S8gvU
pause
:end

How can I get the highest quality video?

Use the -F switch to get a list of available streams:

youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro95_6S8gvU

Decide which streams you want. 137 is the best video, 140 or 251 the best audio. Then use the -f switch to specify those streams:

youtube-dl -f 137+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro95_6S8gvU

Or you can simply specify bestvideo+bestaudio and youtube-dl will pick for you:

youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro95_6S8gvU

youtube picked 137 and 251.

Thank you! This is very helpful!
I chose youtube-dl -f 137+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro95_6S8gvU to get the best quality and it works!

Hi there,

I used this code and it gives me a 1280x720 mkv file without the audio.
youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pFUY_yfaS8
pause
:end

So I used the following code and I still get the same result without audio.

youtube-dl bestvideo+bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pFUY_yfaS8
pause
:end

So I went to check he available streams by using this code but the screen popped up for an instance and disappeared! How can I stop the screen from disappearing?
youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pFUY_yfaS8
pause
:end

[LZAA]

Use cmd.

[aruwin]

Use cmd.

Isn't cmd used in youtubedl?

As was previously stated, use the "-F" switch to get the formats. (Open a CMD prompt initially.)

youtube-dl -f 136+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pFUY_yfaS8

Downloaded no problem.

As was previously stated, use the "-F" switch to get the formats. (Open a CMD prompt initially.)

youtube-dl -f 136+140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pFUY_yfaS8

Downloaded no problem.

Yeah but the formats displayed only for an a second and that vanished. How do I make the format display stay for as long as I want?

[video.baba]

Again, as stated before: (Open a CMD prompt initially.) Open a 'Command Prompt/PowerShell' first.

Example:

[video.baba]

Or use something to make it a little easier:

Yeah but the formats displayed only for an a second and that vanished. How do I make the format display stay for as long as I want?

If you're doing from a batch file add "pause" on the next line. The CMD window will remain open until you press a key.

youtube-dl url
pause

[hunerbo]

Not used to forum, but hope I put my question the right place:
I want to dl from a site, where the URL shows the site name,the file name, and then .html, ie www.dfs.dk/enfilm.html
Anything from Youtube works fine, but only have cryptic names and NOT .html
Can anyone help? For danish members: I am talking about taksmlifksnad (baglæns)

youtube-dl url
pause

youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q_JcEjaOBA
pause

This is what I used but the format display disappears immediately, I don't have the time to choose the format I want. I want to have the best video and audio format in mp4.

I don't know why mine doesn't stay open. Thank you for providing me the formats.
And what about videos that are not from you tube?
I use the same code for this video https://www2.ondramanice.tv/nakee/watch-nakee-episode-1-online
But it doesn't download.

There's a download button in the video. On the very bottom of the video:

After that a page opens with all these options. Just click on f.e. "original video"

And after 5-10 sec youll get a promt to save a 1.5GB file.

If there wasn't a download button you can use a browser's Developer Tools (F12, Network tab) to get a URL for the video. In this particular case it is

Thank you Jagabo, this was exactly what I was looking for (F12-Network), but meantime, a very kind person wrote me a python-script, that actually does the job, so I'm home free now But thanks anyway.

I am trying to download this video by using youtubedl but i can't get the m3u8.mp4 file from the developer tools.
Can someone help me how to work around this? Here's the url, it's pretty long.

When I right click and go to inspect element, the video streaming stops and when I click "network" and reload, the page becomes blank.
How do I get the code for downloading this video on youtubedl then?
