access the REAL original YouTube video files?

[gmbps305]

GOOD MORNING brethren!

Is it possible (and how) to access the REAL original YouTube video files?
I find that, after a while, the same video file with same quality specifications has a decreased display quality.

If not, how to fix it?

Thank you in advance

You can only access the original uploaded video from your own account, not other people's videos

Use search , the steps are discussed in another thread posted on this site (and other sites) . Basically it's not user friendly to use, you have to download an archived zip file

It's not user friendly, you cannnot download a specific file, only a bunch of them in an archive. They probably do it that way on purpose to prevent using them as additional free storage

Thanks for this additional info "Google Takeout"

I try now to find out, from related thread, how to download other people's YouTube video files in their most high display quality as an alternative to fix this decreased display quality issue

You can't download other people's originals that they uploaded, but the next highest quality version available can be downloaded with youtube-dl

If it's a problem with low quality in the browser, you can adjust the viewer to select a higher quality version (they don't always automatically serve you the highest quality version playing in the browser)

It seems very interesting
A great learning time to master the use of its different options to find the best bunch of code that fit my purpose (highest quality version available)
