What operating system do you use ?

Windows 7

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

.. Select "mp4 1080p or mp4 720p" from the drop down list
.. Copy a URL to a Youtube video THAT DOES have 720p and 1080p available
.. click download and watch YouTube DLG instantly fail to download the file

What is the expected behaviour ?

YouTube DLG should download the video

What happens instead ?

nothing but "error" every time/every video

What operating system do you use ?

Windows 7

Any time I try to download a video in 720p or 1080p, YouTube DLG always fails with "error". YouTube DLG no longer downloads videos in HD by default (downloading them in 360p instead) and manually selecting any HD mp4 option always fails

You say that the videos you are trying to download do have mp4 720/1080p. However, it really looks like from the output that they do not : this is exactly the error you have with CLI youtube-dl when you try to fetch an absent format. The URL in your example actually has the said formats that you want, and I could successfully download them, can you provide more faulty URLs ?

im having exact same issue ERROR: requested format not available

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErPsyBUCijM

take a look at this

1080p available i check manually on youtube site

downloading mp4 only or webm only works but downloads 720p

but selecting 1080p of both webm and avi from the list breaks and shows that error

Make sure FFmpeg is installed on your system.
