Hi Ken1
I liked the performance. The only - non performance issue - I wondered
about was this: Why is it an mp4 and not a webm video? :-)
Anything uploaded to YouTube now is made available in both MPEG-4/H.264
format and WebM format. If you're using a script to download videos from
YouTube, you just need to specify which format you want to donwload.
For instance, for the youtube-dl script, use the "-f" option, with
"45"
as the format to get 720p WebM. The list of formats that YouTube serves
is available on Wikipedia here:
