Missing Video Format Options? Fix MP4/MKV Disappearance (2026)

"You wanted an MKV, but only MP4 is showing. Or you wanted a high-bitrate MP3, but only 'Standard' is available. Missing formats usually happen when our API fails to parse the full media manifest or when the social platform has restricted certain formats for that specific video."

Fastest Method (Quick Guide)

1

Click 'Show All Formats' or 'Load More Versions'

2

Refresh the link (forces the engine to look deeper)

3

Try a different download server (Option 2/3)

4

Check if the video is 'Live' (formatting is limited during live streams)

Deep Manifest Parsing

Standard downloaders only look at the 'Surface' links. SaveMedia uses Deep Manifest Parsing to look into the hidden nodes of the video stream. If options are missing, it's often because the site's 'First Pass' missed the high-res manifest. A simple Refresh triggers a second, deeper scan.

Platform Restrictions

Some creators restrict their content to specific resolutions (e.g., '1080p only' for subscribers). While we can bypass many limits, we cannot serve a format that doesn't exist on the platform's servers. Always check if the video is available in your desired format on the original site first.

Conclusion: Every Format at your Fingertips

Our goal is to give you every choice. With a little manifest searching, you'll always find the exact file you need for your project. Choose your format on SaveMedia.
