  • to the best of my knowledge, that's because your system does not have ffmpeg for subsequent transcoding of the site's format into what you would consider "your" format: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/2023.07.06/README.md#s... (they also allow you to specify the path, if you don't have it in your $PATH, via --ffmpeg-location <https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/2023.07.06/README.md?p...>)

  • youtube-dl

    Command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other video sites

  • See elsewhere in the thread for details, but youtube-dl was restored by Github and is generally not considered to be in violation of the DMCA. You can see it on Github here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

    A copyright holder abused the DMCA process to take it down the first time.

  • MeTube

    Self-hosted YouTube downloader (web UI for youtube-dl / yt-dlp)

  • Obligatory reference to https://github.com/alexta69/metube which allows you to front yt-dlp with a webpage.
