Opus codec provides better audio quality though...
Currently, opus for audio and vp9 for video are the best quality formats. Some videos might also use the newer av1 codec, which should be even better than vp9.
youtube-dl chooses the best format by the highest bitrate, without taking into the account that the newer codecs are more efficient, they deliver better quality video and audio in the less space, thus they have lower bitrate than the older codes do.
@MahoHuh
You might not have read the full torrent description, but the method of downloading videos was updated for when this torrent was created. Additionally, it is debatable whether OPUS audio matters for live stream content, given that YouTube only receives at best 128kbps AAC during live streams, and OPUS transcodes do not magically get the full potential of 192kbps. The switch to yt-dlp, as opposed to youtube-dl, means that the video and audio codecs for every live stream in an MKV container is prioritized to be VP9 and OPUS, but for the streams from before that switch the only downside is really the AVC video.
