Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
Yeah all that source code stuff confuses me, I go to sites like github and I just want the exe file and it takes me way too long to find it because it"d always really well hidden. I would have gone to another site, recommended elsewhere, but was just being cautious for now. Turns out I had to ...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
Just put a copy of ffmpeg.exe in the same folder as yt-dlp.exe. (If you already have it in another folder don't move it because something else might need it, make a copy. It's a tiny file and it doesn't matter if you have more than one copy.) Ahh, okay, that sounds a lot easier than I had imagined,...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
EC: Okay, before my head literally explodes, is there a somewhat simple way to use 'ffmpeg' the way that you mentioned, and how, lol? The wikipedia site on it started to give me a headache halfway down the page, and they they issued a warning that the following section 'may be too technical for most...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
Ahhhh, okay, I just tried that and I think I get it. Had to look at things for awhile to figure it out, but it is starting to sink in, lol. When you said it would also show the audio files I was a little lost at first, as I was assuming there would be a separate column with that info. But it is simp...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
Dear Mr. Egg_Crisis ( ;) ): Just thought of another question or two, after rereading your comments as I was about to include them in my notes, lol. Please have patience with my small and often critically logically challenged mind, lol. The following is the typical cmd line that I am currently using:...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
Thanks very much, Egg_Crisis , for that detailed explanation of the various download tips. I think I actually understand most of it, lol. That should be quite helpful. I'm probably not a huge YT downloader, but have always wanted to get a few here and there of the better, at least, slightly rare aud...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
It's a little tedious, but I have put together a system now and have managed to downloaded several oldies so far, thanks in part to the guy on SH with the 'It Was 60 years Ago Today' thread postings. Quite a few there I have always wanted, but was not likely to go out and buy complete old recordings...

Re: Demographics of the forum
Why is the 71 to 80+ section in bold? Is it because we '18' are in 'Run out Groove' of life! LOL! I think you have that backwards, unfortunately, lol. The 71 to 80+ crowd are the ones in the run-out groove. :( But, hopefully, we will have had a long and lovely quiet surface run through the entire l...

Re: Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"
Yes, download one of the "yt-dlp.exe" versions depending on your system. The just put that anywhere you like, summon up a command window by typing "cmd" into the windows search box in the bottom left corner, and then type the full path to your exe followed by -f 140 and then the...
