# https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#format-selection-examples
#
# Since the end of April 2015 and version 2015.04.26, youtube-dl uses -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best as the default format selection (see #5447, #5456).
# If ffmpeg or avconv are installed this results in downloading bestvideo and bestaudio separately and muxing them together into a single file giving the best overall quality available.
# Otherwise it falls back to best and results in downloading the best available quality served as a single file.
