Good youtube to mp4 converter?

[cool09]

I've been using ssyoutube (free) to download youtube video and it's worked fine but lately having trouble with it. Are there any free converters that I can try or do I have to purchase a converter? Which converter do you recommend?

yt-dlp is a powerful tool for downloading content, especially from YouTube. However, I often found myself forgetting the code line for using it. To fix this issue , I've created a batch script to simplify the process.

This simple batch script helped me download YouTube content in the highest possible quality using yt-dlp and ffmpeg, and I'm pleased to share it with everyone.

Tools Used (in the same folder):

1. yt-dlp (download yt-dlp.exe from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases)
2. ffmpeg : for muxing.
3. Batch Script:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p link="YouTube download Link: "
echo 1. mp3
echo 2. video
set /p choice="choose your download type (1 or 2): "

if !choice!==1 (
    yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -o "downloads\%%(uploader)s\%%(title)s.%%(ext)s" !link!
    echo Download completed
) else if !choice!==2 (
    yt-dlp -F !link!
    set /p format_code="Enter the format code: "
    yt-dlp -f !format_code! -o "downloads\%%(uploader)s\%%(title)s.%%(ext)s" !link!
    echo Download completed
)

start "" "downloads"
echo Press Enter to Exit...
pause >nul
endlocal

How to Use the Batch Script:
1. Install the Batch:
- Copy the above code into a new text file.
- Save the file with the extension ".bat", for example, "download_youtube.bat".

2. Run the Batch:
- Run the batch by double-clicking on it or using the command "start download_youtube.bat" in the command prompt.

3. Select Download Type:
- Upon running, you'll be prompted to enter the YouTube video link you want to download.
- Choose the desired download type: mp3 or video. (If you choose mp3, the best available audio quality will be downloaded.)
- for video, you need to enter the video and audio format ID for example: 299+140 "see the following image".
format ID
audio
video

5. Check the Files:
- After the download is complete, the "downloads" folder will open, containing the downloaded files within the batch script folder.
