Which quality to choose
Wildlife and nature footage benefits from 1080p; fine detail like fur and feathers suffers most from compression.
On a desktop, always grab the top quality. Storage is cheap and large monitors reveal compression.
Where the files go on Linux
Files land in ~/Downloads unless you’ve set a different folder in your browser settings.
MP4 files play in VLC, mpv or GNOME Videos, and import into Kdenlive, Shotcut or OBS.
Cat audio as MP3
Birdsong, purring, nature ambience: save the soundscape as MP3 for relaxation or sound design.
The MP3 works in Rhythmbox, Elisa or any player; the M4A is a stream copy of the original AAC, ideal for Audacity edits.
Download responsibly
Credit the person who filmed the clip; many are hobbyists who’d love the recognition.
