That's right, usually the best quality audio you can get from youtube is in m4a format. The only problem I'm having is youtube sets the format inside the m4a to dash, which some stupid players (including iTunes) don't want to play. So I have to run something like

ffmpeg.exe -i "Keith Wiley - The Fermi Paradox, Self-Replicating Probes, Interstellar Transport Bandwidth-AUk6ZlePtQA.m4a" -c:a copy 2.m4a

to change the format in the file header to M4A.

Winamp and VLC also don't play these..

By the way, is DASH a free technology, or it's patent encumbered like the rest of the MPEG stuff?
