Dedicated handling for TED
TED is not handled by one generic rule. There are 8 separate handlers: TedEmbed, TedPlaylist, TedSeries, TedTalk, UnitedNationsWebTv, generic:quoted-html, ocw.mit.edu, soundcloud:related. That means embed player URLs, playlists each have their own path.
About TED and how downloader.asia processes it
TED is a non-profit that has published its conference talks free since 2006, many under a Creative Commons licence and subtitled into dozens of languages.
The request is handed to yt-dlp on our server with a 30-second timeout profile, using its built-in TED extractor. The format list you see is the list ted.com itself exposes — no transcoding, no re-encoding, so the file you receive is identical to the source file.

Formats available for TED
This list follows what ted.com itself exposes for one video. When a format does not appear for a specific item, the source is not publishing it — this page is not the limit.
MP4- an H.264/AAC video container that plays on every phone, TV, and editor without conversion
WEBM- a VP9/Opus container: smaller at the same quality, ideal for the web
MP3- the most compatible lossy audio format, plays on anything
Choosing a quality
The resolution number (720p, 1080p, 4K) is frame height. Some top qualities are stored by the platform as separate video and audio streams; picking that row merges them back into a single MP4 before download, so you never end up with a silent file.

Limits we state openly
- Public TED content only. Private, deleted, or login-gated posts cannot be processed and there is no way to force them.
- Formats and quality follow what ted.com exposes; there is no upscaling and no re-encoding.
- DRM is not circumvented. Encrypted subscription content is out of scope here.
What happens to your link
A TED link is processed in memory to build the format list, then discarded. There is no account, no download history, and the file is not copied onto our servers — the stream goes straight from the source to your device.
What to use this for
Save video you created yourself, that is licensed for reuse, or that the owner permits. TED's terms of service still apply to you as its user, and someone else's copyright does not disappear just because the file is publicly reachable.
