Describe the solution you'd like
I recommended to add more file conversion format options.
yt-dlp supports many different video formats. If can directly select it in the "Configure before downloading" screen, I think it will be more user-friendly, so that users don't need to customize commands.
建議新增更多的檔案轉檔格式選項。
yt-dlp 支援許多不同的影片格式，若能直接在「下載前配置」畫面中選取，我想這會對用戶更加友善，讓用戶不需要自訂指令。

This may be a bit complicated. In short, the general mode in Seal does not and will not contain any "conversion" for video formats. The "preferred video format" is only about format selecting or sorting. This is because we believe that the original format from the website already meets our expectations with the quality and the file size, any conversion made to the video would bring a loss of quality and longer processing time.
I got it. Is it possible to add it to the "convert" option? Make the convert option not limited to converting to audio files.
我明白了，有沒有可能將其新增在「轉換」選項中呢？讓轉換功能不再侷限在轉換成音檔。
Make the convert option not limited to converting to audio files.
That's what I mean because I want the general mode to be as simple as possible. In most cases, converting videos into other formats is not necessary. If needed, use a custom command instead.
Unlike the .opus format used by YouTube, which is not supported by some players or devices, most of the videos use common formats without compatibility problems.
Also, converting audio files costs much less time than videos do. When most average users might be not aware of what it costs, we'd better not add such options in general mode.
