youtube-dlc errors
If you get the error message ERROR: requested format not available when using youtube-dlc run the command youtube-dlc -F https://youtu.be/abcdefghijk to get a list of video sizes for this video  

find the number of the video that has a video size of 1920x1080, preferably mp4, and use the number on the left (e.g. 137).

If mp4 is not available and the only one available is webm, then use the number associated with webm, but change outputcopy.mp4 to outputcopy.webm when performing the command.
