Download mp4 video from YouTube sung python

I was trying to download videos from YouTube the below code. But it gives me .3gpp file format which is very low resolution. How can I make it mp4 or the best resolution?

Code:

from pytube import Playlist
p = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSKGa_7XJkg&list=PLoGtT1rYE-El8eTpyXUzeFHbRUDUJN1Ag')
print(f'Downloading: {p.title}')
for video in p.videos:
     video.streams.first().download()

To download the highest resolution file you can run:

>>> from pytube import YouTube
>>> yt = YouTube("URL").streams.get_highest_resolution()
>>> yt.download()

Should you want a list of resolutions to choose from, consider:

resolution = yt.streams.filter(adaptive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc()

This gets you all the mp4 resolutions in descending order (1080 > 720 > 360). You can then loop through this to display individual resolutions that you may want to pick:

{% for i in resolution %}
    <option value="itag"> {{ i.resolution }} </option>
{% endfor %}

You will have a drop-down menu in an HTML template

There are several filters you can apply to be specific on what type of video you want to download. Refer to the documention.

Try this

from pytube import YouTube

link = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSKGa_7XJkg&list=PLoGtT1rYE-El8eTpyXUzeFHbRUDUJN1Ag"

yt = YouTube(link)  

try:
    yt.streams.filter(progressive = True, 
file_extension = "mp4").first().download(output_path = <your output path here>, 
filename = "downloaded_video.mp4")

except:
    print("Some Error!")
print('Task Completed!')
