 FORMAT SELECTION
 
 
 
 
 
 FORMAT SELECTION
 
 

-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 22. You can get the list of
-available formats using --list-formats, you can also use a file
-extension (currently it supports aac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm) or
-the special names best, bestvideo, bestaudio and worst.
+By default youtube-dl tries to download the best available quality, i.e.
+if you want the best quality you DON'T NEED to pass any special options,
+youtube-dl will guess it for you by DEFAULT.
+
+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 _format selection_ based on
+which you can explicitly specify desired format, select formats based on
+some criterion or criteria, setup precedence and much more.
+
+The general syntax for format selection is --format FORMAT or shorter
+-f FORMAT where FORMAT is a _selector expression_, i.e. an expression
+that describes format or formats you would like to download.
+
+The simplest case is requesting a specific format, for example with
+-f 22 you can download the format with format code equal to 22. You can
+get the list of available format codes for particular video using
+--list-formats or -F. Note that these format codes are extractor
+specific.
+
+You can also use a file extension (currently 3gp, aac, flv, m4a, mp3,
+mp4, ogg, wav, webm are supported) to download best quality format of
+particular file extension served as a single file, e.g. -f webm will
+download best quality format with webm extension served as a single
+file.
+
+You can also use special names to select particular edge case format: -
+best: Select best quality format represented by single file with video
+and audio - worst: Select worst quality format represented by single
+file with video and audio - bestvideo: Select best quality video only
+format (e.g. DASH video), may not be available - worstvideo: Select
+worst quality video only format, may not be available - bestaudio:
+Select best quality audio only format, may not be available -
+worstaudio: Select worst quality audio only format, may not be available
+
+For example, to download worst quality video only format you can use
+-f worstvideo.

 If you want to download multiple videos and they don't have the same
 formats available, you can specify the order of preference using

-slashes, as in -f 22/17/18. You can also filter the video results by
-putting a condition in brackets, as in -f "best[height=720]" (or
--f "[filesize>10M]"). 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 =, != .
+slashes. Note that slash is left-associative, i.e. formats on the left
+hand side are preferred, for example -f 22/17/18 will download format 22
+if it's available, otherwise it will download format 17 if it's
+available, otherwise it will download format 18 if it's available,
+otherwise it will complain that no suitable formats are available for
+download.
+
+If you want to download several formats of the same video use comma as a
+separator, e.g. -f 22,17,18 will download all these three formats, of
+course if they are available. Or more sophisticated example combined
+with precedence feature -f 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio.
+
+You can also filter the video formats by putting a condition in
+brackets, as in -f "best[height=720]" (or -f "[filesize>10M]").
+
+The following numeric meta fields can be used with comparisons <, <=, >,
+>=, = (equals), != (not equals): - filesize: The number of bytes, if
+known in advance - width: Width of the video, if known - height: Height
+of the video, if known - tbr: Average bitrate of audio and video in
+KBit/s - abr: Average audio bitrate in KBit/s - vbr: Average video
+bitrate in KBit/s - asr: Audio sampling rate in Hertz - fps: Frame rate
+
+Also filtering work for comparisons = (equals), != (not equals), ^=
+(begins with), $= (ends with), *= (contains) and following string meta
+fields: - ext: File extension - acodec: Name of the audio codec in use -
+vcodec: Name of the video codec in use - container: Name of the
+container format - protocol: The protocol that will be used for the
+actual download, lower-case. http, https, rtsp, rtmp, rtmpe, m3u8, or
+m3u8_native
+
+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. You can combine format filters, so
 -f "[height <=? 720][tbr>500]" 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 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio. You can merge the video and
-audio of two formats into a single file using
--f <video-format>+<audio-format> (requires ffmpeg or avconv), for
-example -f bestvideo+bestaudio. Format selectors can also be grouped
-using parentheses, for example if you want to download the best mp4 and
