youtube-dl DASH video and audio in highest quality without human intervention

Question

Answer 1

Just use -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best for highest resulting quality available.

If you wanted to prefer MP4 format containers instead of WebM, use:

-f bestvideo[ext!=webm]‌​+bestaudio[ext!=webm]‌​/best[ext!=webm].
