I don't understand what Robert is saying, not just Carlos.
What is your yt-dlp?
Mine is this;
$ yt-dlp --version 2024.11.18
Are you saying that yt-dlp can change the size while downloading?
If there is such a thing, I would like to know about it.
If the file format is specified, yt-dlp changes the file format after downloading the file, right?
Best Regards & Good Night.

Actually, yt-dlp can change the file format and the size selected. By default it requests the largest size available if several are available. Typical example would be youtube where (following the quality / speed of your connect, the browser generally chooses the fitting size for not having the system run out of buffer when watching a video. yt-dlp can therefore choose which of the versions offered (but by default does not as it has all the time to download the file in the max size offered). The different formats are normally downloaded all together and they are then by default all integrated into a mvk file, unless you pass the -k (keep) option to yt-dlp and then you have the mkv and the different formats prior to integration. I think you are interested in the capacity to limit download size to a specific format (which yt-dlp can do). https://usercomp.com/news/1044021/yt-dlp-select-maximum-resolution-and-speci... gives an indication (just an example of many). P.S. sorry if you are already informed about all this, not my intention to do bikeshedding to be clear.
