Comment on does the quality of downloaded youtube video increase after being downloaded?

What codec are you downloading? My internet is a joke, its slow and vids are always compressed in real-time to adapt to the connection speed. Downloading the video (audio) gives you the option to get the original or uncompressed audio stream, you can set yt-dlp to download at the best available quality, so that could be the reason.

I am using the default mp4 and webm file format to download the music.

Quick question, why do you choose mp4 rather than say opus? Just wondering because I can’t often tell the difference on my subpar headphones. Do you choose high bitrate settings?
