Audio quality decreases if the video resolution on Youtube is lower than 1080 #65

Closed KatieBelli closed 1 year ago

I noticed that when I download a video that is 720p then it cuts off frequencies. But when I download videos that are 1080p or higher then the quality is the same as if I recorded it with Audacity.

The video I want to download has this spectrum when I record it with Audacity as a .wav file:

recorded with audacity

The same snippet from the downloaded video with this gui:

yt-dl

Here are the video datas:

Is there a way to fix this so we can download videos where the original audio is the same as if I record it with Audacity? It only works if the video has a resolution of 1080p or higher.

Edit: Video which I want to download: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyDLZlt6Y94

The video down here is in 480 and the gui downloads the audio without any frequencies cut off. I'm confused because its resolution is lower than the video which I want to download.

I think I found the solution:

When selecting the video format, it has to be "webm". Then it doesn't cut off the frequencies.

Tested it with another of the same Let's Play and it worked.
