Downloads best-quality audio and video from YouTube
This YouTube downloader allows you to get the best streams without re-encoding to preserve the best quality. While VP9 is 35% more efficient than MP4 for videos, some videos have 40-60% smaller file sizes in VP9 format! It will automatically select the best-quality video based on file sizes. It can even combine MP4 videos with Opus audios in a MKV file, although not all players will support it. I haven't seen any other downloader that can produce a MKV file with the best video and audio without re-encoding anything. Yang YouTube Downloader also allows to re-encode audios with all the same features as 432hz Batch Converter! Requires FFMPEG. Supports Windows (Win 7 SP1 or later) and Linux (all distros).
