Notes
- Videos on X are served as MP4; GIFs are also stored as MP4
- Quality options depend on what X uploaded — not all tweets have multiple qualities
- Batch download respects delays between requests to avoid rate limits
getVideoInfo()shows tweet ID, author, and all available video URLs before committing to a download
