Cheers!

I was able to get a 1.4gb file in 1080p
Will upload it to my Mega account

I have a 1.3 gig mp4 file at 1080p i plan to put on the tracker, unless someone beats me to it.

Weird, I got a 1.8 GB file. I'll have to compare it and see what's going on.

OK, so you guys all got the same size on the video, which is also the same size that I see if I fetch it now. It runs at about 2200 Kbps. However, when I downloaded it last night, shortly after the premiere concluded, I got a video stream with a 3000 Kbps bitrate, about 40% higher. I'll have to do some comparisons and see if that translates into actual better video quality.

For the audio side, everyone had the same 128 Kbps soundtrack, except yours, Mark. Yours had a 256 Kbps audio track for some reason. What did you use to download from YouTube? As far as I'm aware, YouTube only offers 128 Kbps max, so I'm wondering if yours got re-encoded. If not, I'd be really interested in how to get 256 Kbps audio.

Miles, I deleted your torrent because you mislabeled it with the wrong date and city, and also because I noticed (before I did all these comparisons) that it was much smaller than my copy. So we'll figure out what's the best quality for audio and video and get something definitive posted.

I ended up with a 1.46GB / 1.37GiB (1,469,796,255 byte) file out of youtube-dl, which is... close, but not exactly the same as what everyone else is reporting. I grabbed it with the following, which combines the 1080p video and AAC audio tracks:

youtube-dl -f '137+140' 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=Nz-eF5_tI-s'

The resulting file has a sha256sum of 6d806d1085ca255cda45f576545629881c494ab8a4f1b5b635 fdaf69953c896f.

I used 4K Video Downloader you suggested. It went really smooth and downloaded without problems. Wish I had known about this program a month ago 😊

Ah, I got my files crossed. It was actually neorev's file that has the 256 Kbps soundtrack. How did you download it such that it had that bitrate for the soundtrack?

I grabbed the audio format 140 and the audio+video format 22 and both of them have 128kbit AAC audio. I'm guessing that any rip with a 256kbit audio track was converted from one of the opus inputs, but all of those were smaller and lower bit rate than the AAC, so you're not really gaining anything.

I used the Easy YouTube Video Downloader addon for Firefox.

It also gives me audio only download options for 128kbps and 256kbps.

Found this online:
As stated in this answer by Brandon, YouTube currently streams in 128 kbps ACC, when you select the Normal quality. Premium subscribers can also select the High quality, which streams at 256 kbps AAC (equal quality to GPM's 320 CBR kbps). To save bandwidth, you can also select Low quality with 48 kbps HE-AAC.
