How to Download a YouTube video
About Copyright and Permission …
Before proceeding:
I assume you accept permission from YouTube and/or the copyright holder of the video you want to download.
- Not only is it polite to at least ask for permission from whoever uploaded the video to YouTube, it is also respectful towards the work they have put into it to provide the video.
- Additionally, the YouTube Terms of Apply state that you are required to practise this in order to not violate the understanding.
- Finally: make sure you follow the local Copyright laws of the land you reside in.
This trick may not always work …
Some YouTube videos may fail with this pull a fast one on.
This can exist for several reasons:
- The video is for adult audiences only – this may result in VLC being unable to play the video
- Your VLC version does not, or no longer, supports this option. This tin can be because the VLC time decided to disable this in future versions, or changes on YouTube's end.

TIP: Use a Download Manager …
Fully optional, and definitely not required; simply you could of form use a so called "Download manager".
If y'all do not accept one installed: there are plenty gratuitous download managers available, just I'd but install i of these if you download more oftentimes.
The advantage of a download managing director can be found in potentially faster downloads and easier adding of a link.
Some examples:
- Download Station on a NAS (for example on a QNAP or Synology NAS)
- FlashGet (pretty onetime but free for Windows)
- Plenty of gratuitous download managers as a Chrome Extension can be found here.
