Why force to download something which has a worse image quality and larger size? Also, YouTube has long stopped encoding >=4K videos into AVC/H.264 and they are now provided using VP9/AV1 codecs exclusively: Youtube's WEBM videos are usually encoded using the VP9 codec which is a much more efficient and newer codec which allows to compress video better (which means a smaller file size) while providing a perceptually better image quality.Ĭan we force download 4k videos as mp4 instead of webm?

Youtube's MP4 videos are encoded using the H.264/AVC codec. Which makes me wonder that either there is some quality loss or compression in webm. Then it remains only to wait until the downloading is completed and play downloaded video.


Select a quality type in the download window and press 'Download' button. I have observed that the size of mp4 videos are larger than webm for a same resolution video. Press 'Paste Url' button in 4K Video Downloader application.
