Is there a way to tell youtube-dl to save "the best formats of

I think the --merge-output-format option is what you're looking for:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#video-format-options
Thanx!!!
That does it.
Just for interest and any further discussion, as a new youtube-dl user
this is what's in my config file:
--cache-dir '~/.cache/youtube-dl'
--format mp4
--add-metadata
--xattrs
-o '%(title)s--%(uploader)s--%(width)dx%(height)d.%(ext)s'
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
