A GUI application to download videos from YouTube
C# Microsoft Visual Studio (2017 - 2015 - 2013)
I have used several packages, such as WindowsApiCodePack, Costura.Fordy etc, which NuGet should take care of automatically when building(See here). So clone the repo, and you're good to go.
-
Copy Youtube/vimeo/dailymotion/any-other-supported-site video url to clipboard
-
Open YouTube Downloader.exe
-
Select the necessary options
-
Click Download
This software is the result of my realization that most people (including me) are just too lazy to use the command-line tool 'youtube-dl'. So I decided to build a GUI for it with only the most bare-bone features (youtube-dl has a ton of features which are not available in my version - maybe they will soon be available :p).
You can download videos from other video sharing sites as well. A huge set of sites are supported. To see the full list of supported sites go here. The advanced options like quality etc. are only applicable to youtube at the moment; soon they will apply to other sites as well.
Here it is in action:
