Description

I tried to download these two videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5LW07FTJbI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujhj7mfvIQk
Simply doing it as described:
`ytdl $url > $filename`

The sound is okay in both. But the video is garbled, flickering between black screen and low-quality image full of artifacts.
Tried some other videos as well, with similar results. No usable video output for any YouTube video so far.

Tried with node versions 12.22.1, 15.14.0 and 16.6.0.
