I pip install yt-dlp, and open the README. to set the scene, there's extremely loud music going, it's dark, there's flashing lights, someone is getting a tattoo a bit behind me. I'm on mobile data and it's not great. I feel under a lot of pressure to get these clips downloaded fast! I need to set the resolution to 720p. that's it. this should be simple.
