I was using VLC to download vids from YouTube, but it won't let you do that anymore. Can anyone recommend some software. I get tired of going back to a video and it's been taken down. I have tried some of these sites that will download them, but not comfortable with them.
Looks old. Surprised something old is still working.
It seems that YouTube keeps on changing shit so things eventually stop work and you need to move on to new add ons, software.
Its updated every day except for a famous period of 14 days in 2020 when jew lawyers blocked uploads due to a URL in the source code for regression testing of semi-DRM music videos.
UPDATED YESTERDAY PROOF!:
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/
see? yesterday and today an hour ago source code updated
JewGles JewTube keeps trying to stop it every week, so every week it gets fresh updates.
I use youtube-dl commandline all the time to download ANY youtube video. It uses ffmpeg and other libraries to mux anything into mp4 stream files fit for any device to play back.
This commandline perfectly rips a 4K 60fps protected stream and creates a 720p 30fps mp4 version of it :
youtube-dl -f 'bestvideo[height<=720 fps<=30]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]' -o '/Volumes/MediaRips/Unsorted_Incoming/youtube/%(title)s.%(ext)s' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFs0Jag1Msc
That commandline example also renames the file with the UTF8 filename used from YouTube video title.
It also saves on download bandwidth by seeking desired bitrates.
VITAL:
Pro tip... open a real browser window to your video url and play a send of it in any format and hit pause... THEN use your commandline, to avoid youtube causing grief.
Get JDownloader: https://jdownloader.org/— constantly updated, works on everything, and has power-user settings up-the-ass . Pretty sure you can even write your own plugins for it; not that you'd need to, 'cause there's one for pretty much any site ever made, already. I have mine set so that when I copy+paste a youtube link, it'll automatically add it to my download queue, and I can choose to start the download whenever.
get a plugin for your browser.
there's a ton of them because that's a very desired function. for youtube and other (porn) sites...
You dropped these (())
