+        Parameters:
+            codec: A Video.Codec enum representing the video codec.
+                If not specified, MediaInfo will be used to retrieve the codec
+                once the track has been downloaded.
+            range_: A Video.Range enum representing the video color range.
+                Defaults to SDR if not specified.
+            bitrate: A number or float representing the average bandwidth in bytes/s.
+                Float values are rounded up to the nearest integer.
+            width: The horizontal resolution of the video.
+            height: The vertical resolution of the video.
+            fps: A number, float, or string representing the frames/s of the video.
+                Strings may represent numbers, floats, or a fraction (num/den).
+                All strings will be cast to either a number or float.
+
+        Note: If codec, bitrate, width, height, or fps is not specified some checks
+        may be skipped or assume a value. Specifying as much information as possible
+        is highly recommended.
