Downloading from YouTube

[rjf2019]

Does anyone have a reliable way to download videos from YouTube. (I'm looking at ones that are not copyrighted.)

 

Happy to pay for some professional software, or if there is something free that someone is using happy to hear also.

 

Got burned with this on my Home laptop by downloading some free software with a virus when in a hurry one time, so being particuarly cautious.

While the videos may not be copyrighted (and you'd need to be certain of that) downloading the videos is against Youtube's ToS. As such, we're not going to be able to advise you on it! If you must access the videos, you may have to look at another solution.

Ahhh, that's a fair point and an oversight on my part - thanks!

 

I'm looking for a way that we can get access to videos that we have filmed and uploaded to our own channel. Maybe there is a way within the Creator Studio, I just couldn't see it.

You can download from the Creators Studio once logged into the channel account, go to content, select the video then click more actions and download.

Youtube-dl is best, on GitHub

Deffo recommend using the software that you can get from 4Kdownload. Completely virus free, and all you do is copy a YouTube link to your clipboard, and the software will pick it up and just download it.

 

You get 30 free downloads per day, unless if you want to pay for the pro version. Absolutely swear by it for my personal use - https://www.4kdownload.com
