# Video Downloader
2015-09-08 17:06:29 +02:00
A video downloader with Qt 5 GUI.

Currently YouTube is the only maintained platform so this is basically a YouTube downloader.
2015-09-08 17:06:29 +02:00
It allows to download any quality, including the HD qualities. However

1080p streams (and above) are only provided as video-only or audio-only stream
by YouTube which currently need to be downloaded separately and then muxed together.
This is just a downloader. It does not convert or mux anything. You might use

ffmpeg or mkvmerge to convert/remux downloaded videos.
