use -f bestvideo+bestaudio, install ffmpeg if you don't have it.

https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ is where to get FFmpeg for Window$.

Scroll down to the release section (section name in green) and take the link https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-full-shared.7z

I recommend extracting the contents (without the root folder) to C:\Users\Public\Downloads\ffmpeg\, then add

--ffmpeg-location "C:\Users\Public\Downloads\ffmpeg\bin"

to your command or rc file.
