Hi everyone, this is gonna sound like a really basic question and possibly seem kinda dumb but I really suck at understanding how to properly use cmd and despite my best efforts trying to learn how to use yt-dlp and the associated ffmpeg I am completely lost and need some help with the basics.
I am trying to download a youtube video (apx. 1:51 in length) so I can easily put it in my video editor and mess around with it. running the basic yt-dlp [URL] command does download the video at the highest available quality (480p) but does so without downloading the audio. Looking around I was informed that that I needed to pick one of the available formats that has both video and audio streams (which is capped at 360p for some reason) or use a argument that downloads both a high quality video and high quality audio file, and somehow use ffmpeg to merge them (though I suppose I can just do that in the video editor) but honestly I don't understand the syntax for any of these commands except the basic one (yt-dlp [URL])
How do I specify a format, how do I use ffmpeg, and how do I make it do it automatically?
Any help would be much appreciated as I don't want to use less than reputable downloading sites as I've had bad experiences with them in the past, and I'm sorry once again for having to ask such a basic question.
