Who here has a Youtube-DL compile for WinXP?

Well, this "poor quality" problem has now come back, but this time also affecting the vp9+av01 encodes  ; an issue has been filed on GitHub: 

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14636

Nothing can be done from a yt-dlp standpoint  ...

You spoke too soon. This is not an issue at all. As commented by xpalidotious, the video is mostly static, which means a low(er) bitrate would suffice for a targeted image quality.

that fileextd.dll a old file you dont see that often, the kernelex.dll must be a custom kernel extender

Well, both these missing DLLs are referred to as "dependencies" of wrapper DLL "kernelxp.dll"; but @cmalex has never provided them in his custom, XP-targeting, CPython assemblies, e.g. 

https://mega.nz/folder/jst2WJ5B#sknEpEBamwPomx8UULWuMA/file/igNWhbCb

so he should know better  ; in fact, I have tracked those wrapper DLLs (kernelxp.dll, ntext.dll, psapi.dll, ws2_xx.dll) inside below folder: 

https://mega.nz/folder/KxExlAiC#L9rAQ5kTCtlHgZUwaxMpgw/folder/Os1DmLgL

and the accompanying README simply states:

1. The dll's had unknown origin.

In any case, PyInstaller just issues WARNINGs, no fatal errors, and the resultant packages function as expected; so, these warnings can be regarded as "red herrings" and can be safely ignored; just my 2c  ...

... Be that as it may, I've witnessed the same thing on my own (i.e. on clips other than the one mentioned in the linked GH issue), e.g. on "SxVNOnPyvIU": 

yt-dlp_x86 -vF "SxVNOnPyvIU" =>

ca. 300kbps for the video track for a 720p24 resolution is just too little, if you ask me; likewise for the 1080p24 resolution; notice how the Web Safari (WEB-S) formats have twice the bitrate of the TV_client (TV) formats  ...

FWIW, I don't consume that much of YT myself  ; perhaps @j7n can share more on this  ...
