yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --sub-format srt --sub-lang en --skip-download --cookies youtube_cookie.txt URL
To select the video quality, first use the -F option to list the available formats, here’s an example,
youtube-dl -F URL
The best quality is 22 so use -f 22 instead of -F to download the MP4 video with 1280x720 resolution like this:
youtube-dl -f 22 URL
