    Hello! Is it possible to force a download at 720p resolution when 1080p is
    available? If not, can this please be a new feature, eg. HD(1080p) HD(720p)
    Std(480p/360p) LD(<360p).
    Thank you, Misha.

    Hi Misha,

    I just released a new version V20120729 which can do that. There is a new
    option "sbs" that you can set to on (type in as URL).
    After that ytd2 does not try to download the best quality first but lowest
    first (e.g 720p even if 1080p is available)

    Have Fun!

    Thanks Stefan :-)

    The last 2 days I've had problems downloading ANY video... I successfully
    saved a video 2 days ago and now cannot d/l the exact same one? I'm not sure
    if it is something I've changed in my security or Java?

    Hi,
    it seems Google changed the html source code so ytd2 is not able to fetch any
    videos atm. I'm working on that. thanks for the report!

    unfortunately I managed to melt down my (600W) PSU so I first need a
    replacement. I suggest everyone to do some math before running number
    crunching an CPU+GPU ;-)

    Regards

    Thanks for the new code Stefan! Sorry to hear of your PSU meltdown, hope
    everything is good now :)

    Cheers, Misha.
