In this case the video looks like NTSC videotape... so I assume the resolution will be no better than 480p. But other videos might be as high as 1080p.

The program I use for downloading videos from YT is call aTube Catcher... and it will show you all the options for the files of different quality... and it can reencode from one format to another... though I've never used it. I'm happy with the original mp4s... and they can play one the PC... obviously, but also on some smart TVs and Bluray players... right from a USB stick. So there's no need to burn to DVD. And remember... if you're burning to a standard DVD format... to play on regular DVD players... the top resolution you'll get it 480... even if the file was originally 720 or 1080p.

Lots of stats... but I'll walk you though them if you want.
