You can download the audio and video files by taking the URLs from the network tab in chrome, and you can then merge those files together.

Just remove the range parameter in the URL.

Well that's sort of what youtube-dl does, no? Except for you don't have to inspect network tab or merge anything manually, and you can choose quality and download playlists etc.

That's not my way. I get a mp4 link on googlevideo.com . It has audio and video. I don't have to mess with the browser's dev tools too.
