I attempted to download a video at 1080p with both the h264 and av1 codecs. The full length of the video is 22:04 minutes long but with the h264 codec the resulting video file was 13:18 minutes long. On my second pass with the h264 codec, the video file was 9:06 in length. With the av1 codec the video file was 10:57 minutes long. The videos simply cut off at the end.
reproduction steps
Cobalt setting variations tested (video max resolution is 1080p so higher settings in cobalt properly lowered to 1080p):
On the main cobalt page, I had the option set to "Auto" to get a video file, and I manually pasted the URL ( I did not use the paste button). Once the website finished checking my authenticity, I pressed the double arrows to download the video. The process of it actually downloading the video seemed normal and without any apparent issues.
I am using Firefox latest ESR browser version (1.28.5.1esr) 64-bit.
I am located in Brazil.

Yes, it does. Thank you! I must have missed that feature.
