Best Youtube converter/downloader "A must have question"

Post by Liverpools Boy »

We are rebuild this site from the scratch.

So, we need to start with the most basic questions:
What is the best YOUTUBE converter to .VOB, .MP4, etc
Or what is the best YOUTUBE downloader in the original resolution

The best YouTube downloaders I've seen are YouTube-dl and 4KVideoDownloader, they have options to download videos in .mp4 and .mkv (there aren't any .VOB download options, that's a very outdated video file type that uses MPG2).

There isn't any way to download YouTube videos with the full original technical specifications other than resolution. For example, I can upload a video with a 20mbs bitrate but if you download it using an application, you'll get a file with a 7mbs or so (the same goes for audio).

Thank you for your recommendations, I will give it a try definitely.

In another hand, I edited the full original technical atributes in the first post, I only left the resolution. Thanks for the clarification.

I usually use 4kvideodownloader myself but I decided to look this one up. Apparently I can only find a copy for the Android but not for home PC.

I hoped to find a single answer, but instead I found multiple options that's good because I can choose the best for me. Many thanks and keep reply with your suggestions.
