When you download YouTube videos as MP4, the default video stream is typically encoded with the H . 264/AVC codec and the audio stream with AAC . This combination is chosen for broad compatibility and efficient compression, ensuring high quality at reasonable file sizes . Here are the technical details you’ll encounter:
Container: MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) – a versatile wrapper that can carry video, audio, subtitles, and metadata .
Video Codec: H . 264/AVC (commonly used for a wide range of devices) . Some videos may also use H . 265/HEVC when available, for improved compression at high resolutions .

Bitrate determines video quality and file size . Common ranges are:
Resolution options match the original video when possible, up to the maximum resolution supported by the source video and your device capabilities .
File sizes scale with duration, resolution, and bitrate . A rough estimate is:
File size (MB) ≈ duration (seconds) × bitrate (Mbps) / 8
