I want to download a couple of videos from creators I like, to keep them in case they are ever lost later (whether due to censorship or drama, etc). What is the best method to use for getting files from youtube? bonus points especially if they result in file types that I can burn to a dvd.
mp4 is not really a video format. Depending on how recent they are they’ll play a broader or narrower range of MP4 files, depending on codec selection.
Mp4 is a container format that stores mpeg4.14 video, audio, subtitles, and still images (traditional use case). You’re 100% correct and I’m not saying otherwise. I only wanted anyone who didn’t know this background, to have it, just for their own edification.
