YouTube Downloader

I’ve decided to start using AI to my advantage. I got tired of relying on paid tools or dealing with unreliable software and limitations, so I built my own solution.

This setup is simple and lightweight, but you’ll need a few things first:

Requirements:

  • yt-dlp – download the yt-dlp.exe from here
  • FFmpeg download one of many versions | You will need 7-Zip to extract the zip
  • Extract both above files (yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe) and place them in one folder, ex: “C:\temp\YTDL”.
    • Right-click on your START button and RUN
    • Type in SystemPropertiesAdvanced then press Enter and click Environment Variables button on the bottom
    • Scroll through the “System variables” section and select PATH and Edit
    • Click on NEW and input the path to the two files; if you used the example – “C:\temp\YTDL”
    • Click OK twice to exit

Once that’s done, just run the script in PowerShell ISE and you’re good to go.

I may improve it, depends of feedback.
