I need Help.

Tried to look on other topics to not open a duplicated, but using the search I couldn't find anything near what I would like Is there a way to have the files downloaded as FLAC?

What operating system are you seeing the problem on?

None

Your settings

Windows, GUI v.0.15.6

Have you selected lossless as the quality? Also downloaded ffmpeg & set it’s location in preferences?

That should be all you need to do. Without ffmpeg , it will still download lossless as flac but will be inside a mp4 container.

I've selected the hi-res-lossless (maximum quality). It is downloading correctly, but inside the m4a as you said. The ffmpeg I'm using is the .dll from K-lite, or should I look for another thing?

I use the versions from here. https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds?tab=readme-ov-file But don’t think it would matter. Have you set the ffmpeg location in preferences?

You can use ffprobe to check that mp4 & see what codec is being used inside that mp4.

Maybe try selecting just lossless rather than hires lossless too?

I hadn't seen the check button to extract FLAC files from m4a, now it's working.
