Currently this is blocked by upstream which requires an update of ffmpeg, but you can download the h264 videos by setting the format preference to legacy for now

There is also a problem as of late with the latest version of Seal 1.12.0 also downloading comments.

would be even better if it can convert any external video (not only the ones downloaded by seal)
