Another good one is 4K Video Downloader. The free version has some non-intrusive ads but it works like a charm otherwise.

These are not offline videos, it's a DRM feature which is 100% useless.

If you want to actually get a Youtube video, you have to use an external site which will re-mux the streams and generate 1080p output. A couple of them actually work.

Or you just get Youtube Downloader which has been working fine for... I dunno, six or seven years now? They have gimped the free version quite heavily by now (it used to be excellent), but they often have deals where you can get a year's license for 10 bucks (down from 40).

I download so much shit with YTD it's insane. I think I may just cough up the regular 40 bucks when it's due for next year. Super useful software. It lets you immediately convert files into a host of other extensions, lets you cut and clip. One of the best tools around, imo.

What on earth are you downloading from YouTube?

Everything and anything, basically. Youtube use is blocked at work, so just download it and put it offline. I download a lot of snooker to watch offline, sports, music that I really enjoy but can't find an official track to buy from, etc.

YTD also downloads from tons of other websites, it's not just YT that I download from.
