===Download videos===

Using [https://youtube-dl.org/ youtube-dl]:
<pre>youtube-dl --format 'bestvideo[ext=mp4][height<=720]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo[ext=webm][height<=720]+bestaudio[ext=webm]/best[height<=720]' --verbose</pre>

Ensures the video is no larger than 720p—to save space on portables—and prefer mp4—for portability.
