Downloading HD 1080p videos from youtube with Replay Media Catcher (&fmt=22 and &hd=1 doesn't help)

How do you get RMC to capture the 1080p version on YouTube when there are two HD versions, like in this video?

Adding &fmt=22 or &hd=1 only gets the 720p version.

Just go to the Settings and change the playback quality

Or select 1080p video under the video:

I didn't have any problem downloading 1920 x 1080 h.264 .mp4 video (77125 KB) from this page with Replay Media Catcher.

Also for 1080p videos use &fmt=37

OK, got it, thanks! :)

Hey, everyone! I know this is an old thread, but I'm having the same issue with the current version of Replay Media Catcher. Even by using the "guide", which allows you to choose what version of a YouTube video you want to download, we're offered all sorts of options till 720p (HD), but I'd like to download 1080p (Full HD). Is there a way to do this (apart from maybe recording, which I'd rather not to because 1) it's a method I would use only in lack of a better one and 2) I can't possibly do that because it's a 3-hour video)?

Thanks for any help you might provide.

What is the video you are trying to download? Does it support 1080p? Not all youtube videos support all qualities.

The guide rips the qualities straight from the YouTube page so if it doesn't appear in the guide then Youtube probably doesn't support that quality for that video.
