This thread has piqued my interest in youtube-dl. I'm trying to get best audio and video together in a 1920x1080 video for Youtube URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9tKncAdlHQ
My config file is... -f bestvideo[width<=1920]+bestaudio --merge-output-format mp4 --no-mtime --no-playlist -o ~/ytdl/%(title)s.%(ext)s --restrict-filenames If I use "-f bestvideo[width<=1920]" I get a 1920x1080 video...with no sound. If I use "-f best[width<=1920]" I get a 1280x720 video with sound. That works, but I want the best of both worlds. With "-f bestvideo[width<=1920]+bestaudio", ffmpeg fails...
