          The site has their selected, but at least on YouTube, has many, as I've seen, it depends on the resolutions.

          Some downloaders allows you to download the videos in different format without conversion.

          Then, some extensions would serve other formats as h264ify does.

          Despite that, 480 would be also VP8/9 or now also AV1.

                @zalex108 YouTube basically uses VP9 or H264. Now it seems to be introducing AV1.

                  @thegeneral Yes, YouTube uses VP9 by default, I guess.

                        @thegeneral Probably YouTube didn't enable it for you yet.

                                    Maybe appears after accessand modify in TestTube.

                                    @leocg
                                    I've seen MP4, WebM, and some others on Downloader Extensions/UserScrips for YouTube.

                                    Despite that, the codec would still be h264.

                                    I don't know and didn't tested, but not sure if those can use h264.

                                        If you download YouTube videos with some programs, they are split and the files, Audio/Video and others have to be combined.

                                            @zalex108 Those are containers and not codecs.
