I have introduced several online video download software before, such as Vividl, Hitomi Downloader or the unusable AllTube Download service. They all have a common feature that is to use youtube-dl as the core, which is an open source code with command It is a downloader program that operates in a row-by-line manner, and supports hundreds or even thousands of commonly used audio-visual platforms, social networking sites, or news media. However, the command line is relatively difficult for most users, and other developers have made it It is a graphical interface (GUI), which is easier to use.

The "yt-dlg" to be introduced in this article is a cross-platform youtube-dl graphical online video download tool . It is made with wxPython, which is a GUI toolkit in Python language. It supports a lot of network services (not only limited to YouTube but also other audio-visual platforms, social networking sites or news outlets, etc.), available for Windows, GNU/Linux or installed on PyPl, also available in the Microsoft Store.

yt-dlg itself has a multi-language operation interface including traditional Chinese. The operation method is very simple. Just paste the video URL, select the format and storage path to be downloaded, and the yt-dlg download function can be activated to save the online video as a pre-installed file. The selected format, the preset format includes mp4, webm, mp3, m4a, etc., and more audio-visual formats, picture quality, and sound quality can be added, and the function of downloading movie subtitle files is available. Interested friends can study it.

As for the best video download application for macOS, I still recommend Downie. It supports more than a thousand audio-visual platform websites, but it is not a free software that requires a paid registration to use it. Good deal.

STEP 1

After opening the yt-dlg official website, find the " Downloads " download section, click the version you want to download, and click Windows here to get the corresponding installer. If you are not at ease, you can also choose the Microsoft Store download page.

STEP 3

After opening the yt-dlg software, it will automatically switch to the system language. In fact, the interface design of this download tool is very simple. Just copy and paste the URL of the video page in the upper field, select the download format and save path from the bottom, and click the bottom right corner Click the Start " button to download the file.

For example, after pasting the URL of a YouTube video, click the format to download. The default video formats are webm, mp4, and the audio can be saved as mp3, m4a or vorbis. If you need to add more formats, click the option in the upper right corner Make advanced settings.

STEP 4

After selecting the format, click " Start " in the lower right corner, and then the queuing work of the download list will be processed. If you paste the URL at the beginning and find that it is not downloading, don't worry, it should be because you did not click the button in the lower right corner (if an error occurs, just remove the file, add it back in and download it again).

When the download is complete, it will display the video title, format, file size, percentage and status, and at the same time display a prompt that all downloads have been completed, indicating that the video file has been successfully saved from the website page entered by the user.

STEP 6

In the yt-dlg option section, there are still some functions to choose from, such as adding more video formats and audio formats, but it should be noted that it may not be applicable to all websites, you still need to adjust the options and test it a little, like I have no problem downloading mp4 or mp3 format on YouTube, and other Facebook, Instagram can also download, but only limited to the post content of the public permission.

On the " Download " page of the option, you can choose the subtitle language to save. You should be able to download subtitle files from YouTube or an audio-visual platform that provides subtitle files at the same time. However, I have not tested this function. Friends who need it can research it by themselves.

Three reasons why it's worth a try:

  • yt-dlg is a cross-platform youtube-dl graphical video download tool, made with wxPython

  • Support thousands of network services, as long as you paste the video URL, you can save the video content

  • Customize the video and audio formats to be downloaded, and get video subtitle files
