Download Full HD YouTube video in python
I want to download a video from youtube’s url. I used pytube but it only downloaded low resolution video or high resolution no audio. How to download a high resolution video with audio from youtube in python? Thanks
I suspect you are talking about this, referenced here: https://python-pytube.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/quickstart.html
"You may notice that some streams listed have both a video codec and audio codec, while others have just video or just audio, this is a result of YouTube supporting a streaming technique called Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH).
In the context of pytube, the implications are for the highest quality streams; you now need to download both the audio and video tracks and then post-process them with software like FFmpeg to merge them.
The legacy streams that contain the audio and video in a single file (referred to as “progressive download”) are still available, but only for resolutions 720p and below."
