yt-dlp weird video size

[MiszS]

So i (don't ask why) downloaded a 15 hour programming tutorial, to add it to my tutorials folder, but it told me that it's already there, because i forgot i had downloaded it earlier. The thing is, the old video is 2GB, while the new one is 3.8GB, but both the videos are literally the same, and this is not the first time something like this has happened, does anyone know why?

Same resolution?  Maybe one is in 720p and the other in 1080p?

Same bitrate?

Could be format and/or resolution. Use the "-F" flag to show available formats from a URL.

If you right click a video file and go to properties then details, you can see resolution and bitrate etc and compare.

Can't do that on linux, but i checked the bitrate using ffmpeg, and yeah, 1 video had 545Kb/s, and the other 293Kb/s, but i still don't understand how does that happen, if they are the same exact resolution, were downloaded from the same link, and even look the exact same when i compare them frame by frame
