As per title.

I cant find a reliable bit of software or website to save a video I want. It seems to be the most protected video on YT.

Any ideas please.

Make sure you have an ad blocker. Some of these sites can be a bit dodgy.

Jdownloader 2 is all you need, for anything download related.

Just install it and whilst its running in the background right click on the YT video and 'save video URL' or just copy & paste the URL in your web browser amd you'll see this come up in the Jdownloader UI..as an example,

Then right click on the video file to start the download

clipconverter.cc usually works for most types of video, but some music videos will be prohibited.

It picks music up even in shit that has none, it used to be my goto until almost every video was unavailable because of music that wasn't there.

I was hoping someone would post this. I have jDownloader2 running on my FreeNAS server, and it's great for downloading pretty much anything. If you make an account, you can use the JDownloader website to control the software. It makes remotely adding a link super easy.

Same, although I still use it on the fly. Lots of previously good extensions have been neutered when it comes to downloading youtube vids, not sure why that is though.

youtube-dl command-line tool. You can download from hundreds of video hosting sites with that.

Another vote for youtube-dl. I use a Alfred workflow on my Mac to quickly download a video by hitting a few keystrokes

I'm using this extension of firefox works for now...

"YouTube Video Downloader/YouTube HD Download"

Also this website works... sometimes...

I used to love this but it has a bug that only downloads mp3 to 128kbps. I had to find something else.

Use Youtube Premium?

 

[Bernkastel]

Most URL providers only allow avc1 video and aac audio upto 1080p. 4K Video Downloader allows vp9 for 2K/4K(theres no other choice) and it downloads the aac audio track and increases the bitrate to 256 kbps making it look like high quality but its just worse, and they only allow 25 And no one will get the subtitles. 4K downloads for free. Instead use youtube-dl. This is my config.

-f (bestvideo[height>2160][vcodec^=av01]/bestvideo[height>2160][vcodec=vp9]/bestvideo[height>1440][vcodec^=av01]/bestvideo[height>1440][vcodec^=vp9][fps>30]/bestvideo[height>1440][vcodec^=vp9]/bestvideo[height>1080][vcodec^=av01]/bestvideo[height>1080][vcodec^=vp9][fps>30]/bestvideo[height>1080][vcodec^=vp9]/bestvideo[height>720][vcodec^=av01]/bestvideo[height>720][vcodec^=vp9][fps>30]/bestvideo[height>720][vcodec^=vp9]/bestvideo[vcodec^=av01]/bestvideo[vcodec^=vp9][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=vp9])+bestaudio[asr=48000]/bestvideo+bestaudio/bestaudio[ext=opus]/best

--write-sub

--sub-lang en,en-US,en-CA,en-GB,en-IE,enUS

--merge-output-format mkv

--embed-subs

--no-warnings

--add-metadata

--external-downloader aria2c

-o %(title)s.%(ext)s

And my aria2 config

console-log-level=warn
summary-interval=0
file-allocation=none
max-concurrent-downloads=16
split=16
max-connection-per-server=16
min-split-size=5M

This will download the av01 track if available, otherwise go for vp9. For audio it will chose opus, but if available it will chose 5.1 or ambisonic audio over standard opus. And ofcourse it can embed subtitles and metadata. It will get you the ultimate best version. Still wanna pay for 4K downloads to 4K video downloader ?

jdownloader 2.

any other sites/programs i've used won't download the highest resolution or are just a hassle to use.

also it works for more than just YouTube. does facebook/twitter/instagram/twitch and pretty much any porn site it'll even let you download paid content (either the video itself or higher quality versions) for free.
