Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to upload a video with the H264 codec with Parabolic Git because Premiere Pro doesn't support codecs like AV1 or VP9...

I believe if Prefer AV1 is not selected, and you use a format such as MP4, it should be H264...but I will look into it.

I believe yt-dlp always chooses vp9 if available. We would need a preference option for this.

If there's is a ui rework like denaro, we could make the options before downloading dynamic and only show relevant options to select codec and formats.

+1 More options sounds good to me. Would H264 deliver better download quality over VP1/AV1? I've been downloading using the default VP9 so far; would AV1 deliver better quality?
