Question
I have read the FAQ and understand that to obtain the best video quality, the "default" option should be selected.
However, how do I obtain the best audio quality.
"Best audio quality" (probably) means extracting the original audio format from the obtained video file. That is, without re-encoding it from one format to another.
Should the "Extract Audio" option in Youtube-DLG be used to obtain the best audio quality?
Should an external tool (maybe ffmpeg?) be used to obtain the best audio quality?
I understand that chosing an arbitrary audio format when downloading with Youtube-DLG is not a good idea, because this might cause the audio to be decoded and re-encoded as a different format.
