.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
+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]http\f[], \f[C]https\f[], \f[C]rtsp\f[], \f[C]rtmp\f[],
+\f[C]rtmpe\f[], \f[C]m3u8\f[], or \f[C]m3u8_native\f[]
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
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
+download best video only format, best audio only format and mux them
+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[].
\f[C]best\f[] is also needed for videos that don\[aq]t come from YouTube
because they don\[aq]t provide the audio and video in two different
files.
-If you want to only download some dash formats (for example if you are
+If you want to only download some DASH formats (for example if you are
not interested in getting videos with a resolution higher than 1080p),
you can add \f[C]\-f\ bestvideo[height<=?1080]+bestaudio/best\f[] to
your configuration file.

.SH VIDEO SELECTION
.PP
Videos can be filtered by their upload date using the options
CAPTCHA (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/154), but at the
moment, your best course of action is pointing a webbrowser to the
youtube URL, solving the CAPTCHA, and restart youtube\-dl.
+.SS Do I need any other programs?
+.PP
+youtube\-dl works fine on its own on most sites.
+However, if you want to convert video/audio, you\[aq]ll need
+avconv (https://libav.org/) or ffmpeg (https://www.ffmpeg.org/).
+On some sites \- most notably YouTube \- videos can be retrieved in a
+higher quality format without sound.
+youtube\-dl will detect whether avconv/ffmpeg is present and
+automatically pick the best option.
+.PP
+Videos or video formats streamed via RTMP protocol can only be
+downloaded when rtmpdump (https://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/) is installed.
+Downloading MMS and RTSP videos requires either
+mplayer (http://mplayerhq.hu/) or mpv (https://mpv.io/) to be installed.
.SS I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?
.PP
Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as
for example \f[C]\-o\ "/home/user/videos/%(title)s\-%(id)s.%(ext)s"\f[].
If you want this for all of your downloads, put the option into your
