.SH FORMAT SELECTION
.PP
By default youtube\-dl tries to download the best quality, but sometimes
you may want to download in a different format.
The simplest case is requesting a specific format, for example
\f[C]\-f\ 22\f[].
You can get the list of available formats using
\f[C]\-\-list\-formats\f[], you can also use a file extension (currently
it supports aac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm) or the special names
\f[C]best\f[], \f[C]bestvideo\f[], \f[C]bestaudio\f[] and
\f[C]worst\f[].
By default youtube\-dl tries to download the best available quality,
i.e.
if you want the best quality you \f[B]don\[aq]t need\f[] to pass any
special options, youtube\-dl will guess it for you by \f[B]default\f[].
.PP
But sometimes you may want to download in a different format, for
example when you are on a slow or intermittent connection.
The key mechanism for achieving this is so called \f[I]format
selection\f[] based on which you can explicitly specify desired format,
select formats based on some criterion or criteria, setup precedence and
much more.
.PP
The general syntax for format selection is \f[C]\-\-format\ FORMAT\f[]
or shorter \f[C]\-f\ FORMAT\f[] where \f[C]FORMAT\f[] is a \f[I]selector
expression\f[], i.e.
an expression that describes format or formats you would like to
download.
.PP
\f[B]tl;dr:\f[] navigate me to examples (#format-selection-examples).
.PP
The simplest case is requesting a specific format, for example with
\f[C]\-f\ 22\f[] you can download the format with format code equal to
22.
You can get the list of available format codes for particular video
using \f[C]\-\-list\-formats\f[] or \f[C]\-F\f[].
Note that these format codes are extractor specific.
.PP
You can also use a file extension (currently \f[C]3gp\f[], \f[C]aac\f[],
\f[C]flv\f[], \f[C]m4a\f[], \f[C]mp3\f[], \f[C]mp4\f[], \f[C]ogg\f[],
\f[C]wav\f[], \f[C]webm\f[] are supported) to download best quality
format of particular file extension served as a single file, e.g.
\f[C]\-f\ webm\f[] will download best quality format with \f[C]webm\f[]
extension served as a single file.
.PP
You can also use special names to select particular edge case format: \-
\f[C]best\f[]: Select best quality format represented by single file
with video and audio \- \f[C]worst\f[]: Select worst quality format
represented by single file with video and audio \- \f[C]bestvideo\f[]:
Select best quality video only format (e.g.
DASH video), may not be available \- \f[C]worstvideo\f[]: Select worst
quality video only format, may not be available \- \f[C]bestaudio\f[]:
Select best quality audio only format, may not be available \-
\f[C]worstaudio\f[]: Select worst quality audio only format, may not be
available
.PP
For example, to download worst quality video only format you can use
\f[C]\-f\ worstvideo\f[].
.PP
If you want to download multiple videos and they don\[aq]t have the same
formats available, you can specify the order of preference using
slashes, as in \f[C]\-f\ 22/17/18\f[].
You can also filter the video results by putting a condition in
slashes.
Note that slash is left\-associative, i.e.
formats on the left hand side are preferred, for example
\f[C]\-f\ 22/17/18\f[] will download format 22 if it\[aq]s available,
otherwise it will download format 17 if it\[aq]s available, otherwise it
will download format 18 if it\[aq]s available, otherwise it will
complain that no suitable formats are available for download.
.PP
If you want to download several formats of the same video use comma as a
separator, e.g.
\f[C]\-f\ 22,17,18\f[] will download all these three formats, of course
if they are available.
Or more sophisticated example combined with precedence feature
\f[C]\-f\ 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio\f[].
.PP
You can also filter the video formats by putting a condition in
brackets, as in \f[C]\-f\ "best[height=720]"\f[] (or
\f[C]\-f\ "[filesize>10M]"\f[]).
This works for filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr, asr, and fps and
the comparisons <, <=, >, >=, =, != and for ext, acodec, vcodec,
container, and protocol and the comparisons =, != .
.PP
The following numeric meta fields can be used with comparisons
\f[C]<\f[], \f[C]<=\f[], \f[C]>\f[], \f[C]>=\f[], \f[C]=\f[] (equals),
\f[C]!=\f[] (not equals): \- \f[C]filesize\f[]: The number of bytes, if
known in advance \- \f[C]width\f[]: Width of the video, if known \-
\f[C]height\f[]: Height of the video, if known \- \f[C]tbr\f[]: Average
bitrate of audio and video in KBit/s \- \f[C]abr\f[]: Average audio
bitrate in KBit/s \- \f[C]vbr\f[]: Average video bitrate in KBit/s \-
\f[C]asr\f[]: Audio sampling rate in Hertz \- \f[C]fps\f[]: Frame rate
.PP
Also filtering work for comparisons \f[C]=\f[] (equals), \f[C]!=\f[]
(not equals), \f[C]^=\f[] (begins with), \f[C]$=\f[] (ends with),
\f[C]*=\f[] (contains) and following string meta fields: \-
\f[C]ext\f[]: File extension \- \f[C]acodec\f[]: Name of the audio codec
in use \- \f[C]vcodec\f[]: Name of the video codec in use \-
\f[C]container\f[]: Name of the container format \- \f[C]protocol\f[]:
The protocol that will be used for the actual download, lower\-case.

\f[C]format_id\f[]: A short description of the format

Note that none of the aforementioned meta fields are guaranteed to be
present since this solely depends on the metadata obtained by particular
extractor, i.e.
the metadata offered by video hoster.

Formats for which the value is not known are excluded unless you put a
question mark (?) after the operator.
question mark (\f[C]?\f[]) after the operator.
You can combine format filters, so
\f[C]\-f\ "[height\ <=?\ 720][tbr>500]"\f[] selects up to 720p videos
(or videos where the height is not known) with a bitrate of at least 500
KBit/s.
Use commas to download multiple formats, such as
\f[C]\-f\ 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio\f[].
.PP
You can merge the video and audio of two formats into a single file
using \f[C]\-f\ <video\-format>+<audio\-format>\f[] (requires ffmpeg or
avconv), for example \f[C]\-f\ bestvideo+bestaudio\f[].
avconv installed), for example \f[C]\-f\ bestvideo+bestaudio\f[] will

together with ffmpeg/avconv.
.PP
Format selectors can also be grouped using parentheses, for example if
you want to download the best mp4 and webm formats with a height lower
than 480 you can use \f[C]\-f\ \[aq](mp4,webm)[height<480]\[aq]\f[].
.PP

extraction process are \f[C]id\f[], \f[C]title\f[] and either
\f[C]url\f[] or \f[C]formats\f[], i.e.
these are the critical data the extraction does not make any sense
without.
This means that any
field (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/58525c94d547be1c8167d16c298bdd75506db328/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L138-L226)

not to break the extraction of general purpose mandatory fields.
For example, if you have some intermediate dict \f[C]meta\f[] that is a
source of metadata and it has a key \f[C]summary\f[] that you want to
extract and put into resulting info dict as \f[C]description\f[], you
should be ready that this key may be missing from the \f[C]meta\f[]
dict, i.e.
you should extract it as \f[C]meta.get(\[aq]summary\[aq])\f[] and not
\f[C]meta[\[aq]summary\[aq]]\f[].
Similarly, you should pass \f[C]fatal=False\f[] when extracting data
