# Video Downloader
|
|
A video downloader with Qt GUI and backends for multiple platforms, e.g. YouTube and
|
|
Vimeo.

**Note**: This project is not maintained anymore so any provider-specific code might be
|
|
outdated and not work anymore. I keep the project around as an example for doing HTTP
|
|
downloads with Qt showing the progress and speed in a list view.

This is just a downloader. It does not convert or mux anything. You might use
|
|
ffmpeg or mkvmerge to convert/remux downloaded videos.
|
|
|
|
It seems that not all YouTube videos work anymore. Since this is mainly a
|
|
learning/test project for me I currently have no intention to fix it.

|
## Supported YouTube quality levels
|
|
The downloader 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.
|
|
|
|
## Build instructions
|
|
The video downloader depends on c++utilities and qtutilities and is built in the same
|
|
way as these libaries.
|
|
|
|
The following Qt modules are requried: core gui widgets network
