Completely anecdotal, but I occasionally download videos from YouTube for later viewing, and I get .mp4 (MPEG-4: H.264) files - which is probably what's in the .mov container as well. (.mov is another one of those container formats that can have a lot of things, but these days I believe the 'default' is H.264.) YouTube is probably saving them into some temp storage and then converting them at their leisure, would be my guess. Daniel T.
