getInfo() forces args [-f, best] when no format is specified by the caller, which can result in the selection of sub-optimal formats (ex: 720p when 1080p is available).

This is unfortunate because running the binary on the same video without specifying -f, correctly selects and downloads the optimal format (and performs post-processing steps when necessary).

If possible, can getInfo() be changed to not force '-f best' when the caller specifies no format?
