ArcDLP v1.4.2
What's New in v1.4.2
🎬 Choose your video codec
Downloads no longer have to take whatever codec the site ranks highest. A new
Settings > Video option lets you pick one:
- Auto (default) - Unchanged behavior, whatever yt-dlp ranks best
- H.264 - The most compatible option. Opens in QuickTime, Windows Media
Player, Premiere, and Resolve without converting first - VP9 - Smaller files at the same quality, saved as WebM
- AV1 - The smallest files, for modern players and editors
It is a preference, not a hard filter. If a video doesn't offer the codec you
picked, the download still runs using the best available format. Check this in logs.
Other changes
- Size estimates on the quality presets now account for the selected codec, so
AV1 and VP9 no longer show H.264-sized numbers - VP9 downloads are saved as WebM with Opus audio rather than being forced into
an MP4 container, which some players will not play. - Package and dependency updates
