You'll get even smaller files. I've been replacing my media library with AV1 when I see titles available.

Still nice though. I used to have a script to automatically download all videos from a few youtube channels. Would have been useful to combine it with this.

Oops. I meant to make this a reply to the post with the h.265 script instead of its own post.
