GUI for youtube-dl command line

Open Video Downloader is a free video downloader utility that serves as an interface to actually download various video files through the powerful youtube-dl command line. Built in the Electron and node.js framework, it empowers you to get your favorite content from popular multimedia sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter, and so on.  

All elements necessary to obtain the clip you’re eyeing are neatly placed within the Open Video Downloader’s interface enabling you to experience an easy download process. This is a unique alternative to ClipGrab, aTube Catcher, and Fast Video Downloader. 

Download favorite clips effortlessly

As you launch the Open Video Downloader program, a clean, simple but still, stylish user interface will greet you. The top part of the application contains an efficient search bar wherein you can paste the video URL garnered from different websites it supports. Multiple videos, playlists, or channels can be downloaded simultaneously. Just place the link and press the + button to start importing the files. 

Once fetching metadata is finished, all details including the thumbnail, title, media type, video quality, duration, and size will be presented. The size is subject to change as it grants you some media type and quality options. You can opt to acquire both the video + audio or the audio-only. At the same time, you can select the video quality you prefer from a wide array of choices it offers. 

On top of that, you can obtain the subtitle as well if it’s incorporated in the content you wish to save. To download numerous clips altogether, just hit the green ‘Download’ button below the screen. If you only aim to process certain videos, an alternative download button beside each of them is available for you to use anytime. The only downside is the lack of audio quality options.

Watch with no interruption

Open Video Downloader is a powerful interface-only download manager software that implements youtube-dl’s command line. Through this solution, you can download your favorite video content across well-known social networking platforms that it supports. Decide the media type and video quality that you will grab and watch it for unlimited times offline guaranteeing no ad or slow connection interferences. However, it falls short in some aspects. Still, it’s recommended.
