t3g, 720P or higher WebM videos are no longer provided by YouTube when using youtube-dl or ViewTube (I have no idea whether they can be accessed using other methods). For music videos, you can usually get much better quality versions (unfortunately in H.264 format only but you can transcode to get a much higher quality WebM videos) from the vevo.com website (youtube-dl can download from it - you might need to use a VPN for it) or the MTV websites (you just need to use the id numbers of the videos and copy them to a website such as the two below and then use rtmpdump - a VPN might also be needed to access some videos).

Here are two sites that provides rtmp links for MTV websites:

http://intl.esperanto.mtvi.com/www/xml/media/mediaGen.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv.co.uk:****

Just replace the stars by the video id, e.g. for this video

http://www.mtv.com.au/music/artists/florence-and-the-machine/videos/shake-it-out-698321/?playlist=florence-and-the-machine-playlist

the i.d. is 698321.
