If the ID should contain other chars than numbers, put it in quotes like -f '251-drc'.
To download a viedeo stream and an audio stream and have it merged into a container format, you can use “+”, as in -f '315+251-drc'. To merge the two streams, use –merge-output-format (as of 2024-05 currently supported formats: avi, flv, mkv, mov, mp4, webm).
Example:
yt-dlp -f '315+251-drc' --merge-output-format mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jABYosi7J14
