'Video format code, specify the order of preference using'

'extensions aac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm. '
'You can also use the special names "best",'
' "bestvideo", "bestaudio", "worst". '
' You can filter the video results by putting a condition in'
' brackets, as in -f "best[height=720]"'

' This works for filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr, asr, and fps'

' 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]" '

'known) with a bitrate of at least 500 KBit/s.'
' By default, youtube-dl will pick the best quality.'

' -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.'))
