Ideally we would always download just what the user wants, e.g. best audio + best video -> merge into whatever container is necessary.
Then for playback transcoding can help if you're on an incompatible client.
This could be avoided by either going with best mp4 as download option or reencoding separately with ffmpeg, but forcing mp4 containers for everyone does have its limits and drawbacks.
