What operating system do you use ?

Windows 10

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

Switch CLI Backend to yt-dlp.exe
Obtain a url of a 1080p 60fps YouTube video
Start downloading the video

What is the expected behaviour ?

The video would be easily imported to Vegas Pro.

What happens instead ?

The video successfully downloaded in a high quality along with a high framerate. However, Vegas Pro instead shows up only one frame of the downloaded video then crashes. It plays fine on both VLC and Windows Media Player, but not on QuickTime player.

I believe this would be a main issue when wanting to use videos in the highest quality. It's more frustrating since using the youtube-dl client on youtube-dl GUI can mainly download videos in lesser quality under approximately 30 fps.

@Maris495 I try figure out. With the info and logs you share my first through is the issue is a workaround with yt-dlp. If you find more info or ideas share with us.

Maris495 commented 3 years ago

My idea would be to convert the videos downloaded from the yt-dlp client into more compatible ones. However, it can be tedious gradually when doing this many times.

Thinking more about the Logs you share first time, you need the formats available for the video you want download. You can open the console and run yt-dlp with the option -F for the list all formats available, with more info about the quality bitrate . If you can try run:

yt-dlp -F 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1__G0NzTCCw'

See the formats available and check the format you want is there. Remember by default is selected the best format

Maris495 commented 3 years ago

Here's some info I got. As a result, I'm unable to pick default because it's not there, but I did pick 'best*' instead. It worked for VLC and Windows Media Player, but QuickTime doesn't play it because the downloaded video is in a .webm format.

Try select convert the webm to MP4 or use Post-Processing (FFmpeg) and try convert to one format compatible with QuickTime like MOV

Let us know how work for you?

Maris495 commented 3 years ago

I converted the video to mp4 and it all worked on the three video players I have. However, the original .webm file I downloaded before doesn't have audio.

Which format (-f) or argument you use for selection of the Formats?

You can share Logs and steps you follow?

Here are the steps I did. First, I open cmd and changed the directory to where the yt-dlp.exe file is Then, I failed a few times trying to make a code to download using the best format until I used my custom template I used for YouTube-DL.

The result is that both the video and the audio is here in the downloaded video, and that it works on VLC, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime Player.

C:\Users\username\Desktop>yt-dlp -F best* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1__G0NzTCCw

When you use -F option the you past the URL don’t use best or any other format selection

You can see the final file is 20191015_-_PBS (1989)_-_1__G0NzTCCw.mp4 and was merged with the video(mp4)/audio(m4a)

If you get the .webm before mean was no possible merging the video/audio with the Formats you request
