Download from Youtube

Post by miih »   0 likes

I imagine that this subject is certainly already answered in some topic around here, but I couldn't find it. I'm sorry for that!
My question is: what is the best way to download YouTube videos in full resolution and with audio these days? I used to use clipconverter website but it no longer works.
Thanks in advance!

Like ghost, I also use Jdownloader2. But these also work:

youtube-dl or yt-dlp (Command line)

Or this site: https://9xbuddy.xyz/en-1bf

9xbuddy will download age-restricted YouTube videos without having to log in or insert special cookies. I used to have to repeatedly jump through hoops to get age-restricted videos with Jdownloader2.

I wish, sorry. I went through and checked all the old online downloaders I had bookmarked, and tried a few more besides. Most such only work for a short while before many sites figure out how to disable them. Anyone know of one that works for tubitv?

However, I verified that I can still download from tubitv using command-line yt-dlp, which I use for many other sites. It works for both video and also captions (using the --all-subs option). There is a GUI version which I have not tried.

A site that just gets the TUBI subtitles is this:

Ummm ... memory fail ... I confess I don't remember what I did, but I don't think I did anything special. Make sure to get the Windows version, of course, not Linux or MAC. I believe you want this:
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#releas ... 20Windows)

I am STILL on 8.1 so I am not so Windows-advanced as you, ha ha! I know there are others here MORE up-to-date than I using it, so Windows 10 is certainly neither too old nor too new for it.
  • Put yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe in the same dedicated Folder.
  • SHIFT+F10 on that Folder.
  • Select "Open command window here".
  • In the Command Window, type "yt-dlp" followed by the URL, which I paste in using the Edit/Paste command-line menu.
  • Hit Enter and let it download, it will show the progress.
Sample: [Code]
Spoiler:

ANYONE - am I forgetting anything about the installation?
Any Windows 10 users have to do anything special in "installing" yt-dlp?
