Mine's a bit more complex, but I put it in yt-dlp.conf to avoid copying and pasting:

-f "(bv*[ext=mp4][vcodec~='^((he|a)vc|h26[45])']+ba[ext=m4a])" //avoid VP9
--add-metadata // easier to find the origins of video in case I get interested
--embed-thumbnail //thumbnails make browsing downloaded videos from TV more comfy
--convert-thumbnails jpg //avoid WebP

It used to be possible to download the subtitles too, but you don't need those often, but metadata's a worthy addition.
