  5. (For Youtube Download) Select Video / audio / best -> Select required resolution once, later it is set as default (can be changed if you type "y") -> skip next (unless if you want custom format) -> type "y" if you need subtitle(Subtitle only available if only youtube has..) -> Forget rest!... My script will take care
