This program is a personal utility I built to simplify downloading videos from supported websites using yt-dlp. It helps me manage downloads more efficiently through a simple interface while relying on yt-dlp’s powerful backend. Special thanks to the yt-dlp community for their excellent work and for making this tool possible.
My program supports many features. Some of the main ones include:
1. Download audio format 140 (high quality audio available on YouTube).

3. Support video resolutions up to 8K.
4. Download videos in low quality to save bandwidth and storage.
5. Download videos in high quality for the best viewing experience.
6. Download videos with standard or best available audio quality.
7. Prevent re-downloading by checking existing downloaded links.
8. Automatically organize downloaded videos and audio into folders based on the uploader’s channel.
9. Supports extending unsupported video resolutions by defining them in a JSON database.
10. When a download requires user login, the program supports cookies from the browser (Firefox) or cookies file.
All those options can be flexibly activated or deactivated using command input in the URL, followed by number based selection by the user.
