Download videos
VLC
See VLC tips.
- Play the video in VLC
- On VLC, check Tools -> Codec information and find a URL there
- Open the URL on a browser. Right click the video and choose to save the video.
The method works for youtube and vimeo videos.
Firefox/Chrome add-on
3 Easy Ways to Download YouTube Videos in Ubuntu and Other Linux Distributions
Video DownloadHelper add-on works fine when I test it on Firefox and Chrome. I need to install an app Video DownloadHelper companion app (the source code is on Github) in order to use the extension. It saves the videos to ~/dwhelper folder.
Youtube-dl
- https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html
- It is based on Python2. Ubuntu 20.04 does not include python2.
- What are the Best Youtube Video Downloader for Ubuntu
- The Best YouTube Downloader on Linux: youtube-dl, Minutube, ClipGrab
- 4 Best open source & free YouTube Downloader for Ubuntu Linux
# which youtube-dl # sudo rm /usr/bin/youtube-dl # Method 1. sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl # Method 2. sudo pip install --upgrade youtube_dl # Log out and log in youtube-dl --version # 2019.01.02 # Download a youtube playlist youtube-dl -f mp4 --yes-playlist URL
- For videos with 1080p resolution, youtube-dl will download 720p by default. To download 1080p, see this post
# show the available resolutions youtube-dl -F XXX # download the desired resolution youtube-dl -f 137+141 XXXX # Note the two numbers 137, 141 is case dependent. They could be 137 & 140. youtube-dl -f 22 XXX # if the format 22 is mp4. If I do not specify the format, the mkv file will be downloaded # But playing mkv file tends to be stuttering with VLC.
This assumes Ubuntu has installed avconv; otherwise video(mp4) and audio(m4a) files will be downloaded separately.To install avconv, install the libav-tools package. Note that libav-tools was replaced by ffmpeg in Ubuntu 18.04.sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
- To download mp3 from a Youtube Video (assume libav-tools or ffmpeg has been installed). See more info here.
