YouTube uses lower quality for mp4 (H.264). Downloading webm (VP9) is |
| 14 |
recommended. But not all videos are available in that format. Which is |
| 15 |
why the format options I posted contain both, with the meaning of "try |
| 16 |
webm first, but if not available, then try mp4." |

Note: this is not about file size. The VP9 webm version has higher |
| 19 |
quality than the *same size* H.264 mp4. |
