Large videos are not converting from .WEBM to .MKV or MP4 video stuck in .WEBM. With small files, I don´t have this problem.

Additional info (please complete the following information):

Interesting. Could you add an example url and the logs from that download?

vojtanethio commented 1 year ago

OK, so it did this only when I had set it to "video only" when it was on Video + Audio it was converted to .MKV.

It struggles with those URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6HTU_EvmaM&t=57s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIxrugMVqqE&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIxrugMVqqE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UrqlMfwUC4

log: ytdl-log-06-02-2023-12.txt ytdl-log-06-02-2023-13.txt

and for instance this video downloads in .mp4 instead of .mkv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MfPb52Yu2M ytdl-log-06-02-2023-13 this file downloads as mp4 instead of mkv.txt

And when i open Download Log, it flickers once in second like it tries to do something.

I discovered that the youtube-dl-gui only sets the --merge-format, which those videos probably require either --remux-format or --recode-format. I now set all of those options in v3, let me see if this is then still an issue
