Opensource YouTube Video Downloader

Our user Reinier Maliepaard made mcYouTube Downloader v1.0 for a colleague who does not like the command line.
The colleague's request was: 'don't make me think, I only want to download a YouTube video or its audio'.
The result is a simple program and his colleague could not do anything wrong.You can download mcYouTube Downloader v1.0 via:

mcYoutube-dl.zip (38,3 MB)

Unzip and run mcYoutube-dl.exe.
The downloadable zip contains executables, annotated source code, images, license and GNU texts.

Thank you Reinier!!

Hello you ! First you need to download the file 'youtube-dl.exe'. (Google) For my pub ... You need to rename this file 'tbe-dl.exe' and place it in a sub-folder of the .pub named 'fichiers'. .

Surely this is not the best way but it works.

Hello,

Some explanation on my mcYoutube-dl that you can download via

https://www.mcdigit.nl/visualneo/mcYoutube-dl.zip

If my program mcYoutube-dl does not work on your machine, then probably msvcr100.dll is missing. Find it via Google (I cannot recommend a credible, trustworthy website) and place it in the directory of the program.

On some machines with Windows this dll is present. On my Windows 10 machine (64-bit),  it is found in the directory Windows/sysWOW64, on my old Windows 7 machine in Windows/System32. However, I bought yesterday a new machine and the dll was missing: mcYoutube-dl did not download a video. So I copied the dll from my older machine to the mcYoutube-dl directory, and the programm worked flawlessly (maybe after clicking the button Update).

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Reinier

Hello,

YouTube offers sometimes high quality HD video's. This can be inconvenient for you if you want to download such a YouTube video. In that case, you like to have a lower video and/or audio quality resulting in a smaller video download. By default, my program mcYouTube-dl downloads YouTube videos with the best video and audio quality. However, in the current release v.1.2 you can manage the quality parameters by yourself.

You can download code, executables and msvcr100.dll via

https://www.mcdigit.nl/visualneo/mcYoutube-dl.zip

Have fun! BTW any comments are welcome!

Best regards,
Reinier

The file contains a virus.
The infected file is mcYoutube-dl.exe.
I don't know if it's going to be a false positive, but just in case, I deleted it and recompiled it with Visualneo and it doesn't show up again.

I came across this topic and decided to try writing something myself. I am attaching just the project file. The project itself is in Russian, but upon launch, the language will switch to match your system settings; if a translation for your system isn't available, it will default to English.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Go to Project > Embedded Files. Remove any missing entries and specify the correct paths to the files in the "Lang" folder.
2. The dmCMDLine plugin is required.
http://neobooker.ru/forum/37-2893-1#61254
3. The yt-dlp.exe file is required.
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases?ysclid=mujtgahrnd721751032#release-2026.08.19
4. The ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe files are required.
You can download them here:
https://ffmpeg.org/
Or here for Windows:
https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/

I couldn't attach these files to the post because of their large size, so you will need to download them yourself.

Feel free to develop the project further. The combination of yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe offers great capabilities.

I implemented the ability to download videos in popular formats as well as just the audio—useful if, for example, someone only needs the music or specific spoken content...
