YTDL.cmd
A simple batch file to make YouTube-DL easier to use
Requires YouTube-DL.exe and, optionally, FFMPEG.exe
This script provides an easy way to select specific video and/or audio streams and download all or part of your selection.
For stream, you can enter a single number or two numbers joined with a plus sign (no spaces). For example, 137+140, will copy video from stream 137 and audio from stream 140. By default, it selects bestvideo+bestaudio.
Note: Using ffmpeg to download part of a video will only save time when downloading a very small chunk.
You can convert to MP3 using this script, but please note you cannot add quality. If you select MP3 and 320K, it will just re-encode the original 129K stream and make a bigger file.
For audio only, usually the best option is to select stream 140 (M4A-AAC) and leave it as is.
