Hello everyone. I'm trying to download a video (https://youtu.be/ZAb7fVzj16w) at the best quality but when I choose to download the larger format it won't download. Could you clarify this for me?

Ok, thanks. But why is there the wording 1.63GiB? What I download is not the size listed.Originally Posted by LZAA

Maybe 'yt-dlp' is mistaken.

I downloaded the latest version. With this code I get a 804 MB file and not the one indicated by 1.63GiB.Originally Posted by LZAA
I'm sorry if maybe it's me who doesn't understand.
Code:yt-dlp -f 270 https://youtu.be/ZAb7fVzj16w
-
Yep, yt-dlp can show you the wrong size sometimes.

Ah ok. So to get the best possible video quality what I get is the only way?Originally Posted by [ss]vegeta

Without any choice of format on your part, yt-dlp downloads the best quality

Thanks for the clarification. Thank you all and sorry.Originally Posted by cedric8528
