Youtube-dl not only downloads the videos but it also allows you to download videos in different qualities as you want. And that’s all with one command and then just wait until Youtube-DL finishes downloading the video. Use the following command to download a video in specific video format –
youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpWfEY499Tw
Youtube-dl -f (Format code) (video URL)
Enter the format code for the given video in the format. For example, I want to download the .mp4 video of 1280×780 resolution, then my command would be –
youtube-dl -f 22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpWfEY499Tw
Saving Video In Different Filename
youtube-dl -o funvideo.flv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpWfEY499Tw
