Thank you for the useful app! I'm not an expert but if the point is to download the best quality MP4 video then there may be a little problem... The program downloads the best DASH MP4 video stream and muxes it with the best audio stream available, but such a video has lower bitrate than ordinary MP4 video which already contains audio stream and has the same resolution and frame rate! So it looks to me it would be better to use this video if it exists instead of DASH stream and mux it with the best audio stream available.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'll take a look at the options available to me. This software is essentially just a launcher for youtube-dl. With the last update I actually switched from the binary to the python version of youtube-dl so I have more options available to me in regards to importing functions since this project is also written in Python.
I'm getting ready to upload an updated/re-branded version (since the name changed) in a day or so when I have some free time, and I've thought about for a long time adding different options like only downloading the audio, different quality options, etc.

Thanks for the response, :-)
