Breaking encryption on "Miss Nederlands" beauty contests.

[Judge Dredd]

There are at least two excellent beauty pageants from the Netherlands:

1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCu2TfcDDx8&pp=ygUUTWlzcyBOZWRlcmxhbmRzIDIwMjM%3D

2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Be7Ebgkl4&pp=ygUUTWlzcyBOZWRlcmxhbmRzIDIwMjM%3D.

Yet, the major problem with them (apart from the fact that they are geo-restricted) is that they have some sort of encryption embedded. My favourite weapons of choice - Ant Video Downloader, 4K Video Downloader and Stacher - are not up to the task.

Could you please direct me as to how I can easily download them at the highest quality possible? Thanks in advance!

What makes you think youtube even uses encryption on videos? I've only seen them use on movies. You can check yt-dlp (highest quality is downloaded for both by default, in this case 1080p)
