I've been using the old youtube-dl with aria2c downloader. That combination works well.

youtube-dl.exe -f "bestvideo[height<=2160][vcodec!^=av01]+bestaudio/best[height<=2160][vcodec!^=av01]" --all-subs --convert-subs srt --embed-subs --external-downloader aria2c

Gets me the best quality that my (fully offline) LG 4K TV can play.

Why blacklisting the AV01 codec?

AV1 hardware decoding is still fairly uncommon.
