How to choose a certain video version (not just best)
type this to get the formats
Code:
youtube-dl -F http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06h7gj1/strictly-come-dancing-series-13-week-2
Code:
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_lo_akamai flv 640x360 h264@ 480k, 461
.33MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_lo_limelight flv 640x360 h264@ 480k, 461
.33MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_akamai flv 640x360 h264@ 796k, 718
.23MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_limelight flv 640x360 h264@ 796k, 718
.23MiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_high_akamai flv 832x468 h264@1500k, 1.3
1GiB
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_high_limelight flv 832x468 h264@1500k, 1.3
1GiB (best)
now pick a format
iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_limelight flv 640x360 h264@ 796k, 718
we just need the bit in red
now write it like this
Code:
youtube-dl -f iplayer_streaming_h264_flv_limelight "http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06h7gj1/strictly-come-dancing-series-13-week-2" -o C:\out.flv

nice tips.
before I posted this thread, I used the same format code as you did. But it just didn't work for me.
and It' weird that youtube-dl didn't tell me the truth, there isn't any 1920x1080 at all. The best version is 720p 5000Kbps@50fps , the second best is
720p 2000Kbps @25fps . I want do download the 720p 25fps because my PC can't play the 50fps video smoothly.
I use this command to choose the version I want.
Code:
youtube-dl -f "[height=720][tbr<5000]" http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/xxxxxxxxxx
