Shows pixellated once downloaded.

just tried the same link again, this time, there are no flaws in the video at 1:50 mark. the video is now perfect.

When I try as you suggested I get a whole load of bumpf that I don't understand with the final line saying ERROR ffmpeg exited with code 1. It fails to download altogether.

So I updated yt-dlp as I figured that may have been the issue, but now by using it with stream detector I now get this error:

The final line reads : ffmpeg exited with code 4294967274

Would you please be so kind as to share the command prompt you used on yt-dlp ? I just keep getting error messages.

Just a note, I can't read any screenshots anyone posts to this forum, they are all too small to read any text. Are users uploading them like this or is it something that the forum is doing?
