Downie is a versatile downloader, now in its 4th generation. It can be used as a browser plugin, allowing you to download almost anything from the web. For instance, if you find an interesting video online and want to watch it repeatedly, just click the Downie icon in the top-left corner of your browser, select the video you want to download, and it will start downloading immediately. You can also copy the webpage…

Definitely don’t use any of those screen recording apps – that’s just brute forcing it, you’re reencoding the content and losing a ton of video and audio quality. Any embedded video online (unless is uses DRM, which is not this case) can be extracted and downloaded in original quality. If you’re on a Mac, I strongly recommend using Downie, it’s a great piece of software. https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/…

Though it’s for downloading videos and not screen capping DRM videos, I can’t recommend Downie enough.

Downie is just an old-school macOS download manager I’m fond of – nothing special.

If that sentence sounds confusing then you might want to check out some wrapper apps that are much easier to use. Downie is a paid option, but a lot of people seem to like it. There are other options, but they all use youtube dl internally and function the same.

If you’re on macOS and want something more visual than Terminal Downie is more than enough to do everything you need to in terms of pulling down a local version just about any video posted online. The same dev also makes Permute which is a converter app as well if you want to get everything from one source and be done with it.

I took the plunge and purchased Downie and I don’t regret it. Clean UI, quite powerful and no monthly subscription for licensing. :D.

2) Download the application “Downie.”

There is a free 2 week trial. There could be other pieces of software that would do this, but I was able to do it with Downie, and it’s a great app anyway, so I recommend paying the $20 after the 2 week trial expires. (this isn’t an ad for Downie!).

For anyone thinking about Airy for downloading videos, have a look at Downie first: https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/ because it’s simply awesome, better and cheaper.

If you have YouTube Premium, you can download videos from there so you can use it even if your in-flight Wi-Fi blocks YouTube. You can also use Downie to download videos to your Mac: https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/, or find a free web-based alternative. The good news is that some in-flight Wi-Fi is fast enough to handle streaming. I recently got over 60mbps on in-flight Wi-Fi.

I don’t know if Qello streams are DRM protected, if not Downie will do the job when you have a Mac.

So I am a very happy power user of an app called Downie 4 for macOS, which is an all-purpose audio and video downloading app. You can check out their web page for details on just what all it does and how it works. https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/.

I use Downie. You can use it to download video or audio, and choose the file conversion type on the fly. Works flawlessly, even on many other sites beyond YouTube. It retails for about $20 US, but often is featured cheaper as part of certain websites’ bundle deals.

Almost always https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp. Sometimes I reach out for https://software.charliemonroe.net/downie/ when yt-dlp can’t do the job. I like yt-dlp because it can embed the info, thumbnail, and subtitle(s) in the downloaded video file.

If you don’t want to deal with the commandline, you could also use Downie.
