You can also create a python script to download multiple videos at once.
For that create a python file (eg. download_video.py) and paste the below script or code into the file.
import youtube_dl
def download():
video_url = input("Enter URL: ")
video_info = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL().extract_info(
url=video_url, download = False
)
file = f"{video_info['title']}.mp3"
options={
'format':'bestvideo+bestaudio',
'writethumbnail':'writethumbnail',
'writesubtitles':'writesubtitles',
'writedescription':'writedescription'
}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(options) as ydl:
ydl.download([video_info['webpage_url']])
if __name__ == '__main__':
download()
With the help of this you can also download entire playlists, metadata, thumbnails, subtitles, annotations, descriptions, audio, and many more more easily.
- 'format' : 'bestvideo+bestaudio' it will download the file in best quality.
- 'writethumbnail' : 'writethumbnail' download thumbnail image of video.
- 'writesubtitles' : 'writesubtitles' if subtitle is avilable then it will download.
- 'writedescription' : 'writedescription' write video description in a file.
I hope you successfully download the video if you face any problem plz let me know in the comment section.
