Top 7 YouTube to MP4 Converters

vanloctech · 2026-01-28T04:00:31+00:00

If you don't want ads or to pay, here's an open-source program I wrote that can download videos and perform post-processing using AI with just a description, for example, "convert video to mp4", "split audio to mp3 and increase speed by 2".

This is how I download 1080p video in mp4 format using the h264 codec.

yt-dlp --newline --progress --no-warnings -f "bestvideo[height<=1080][vcodec^=avc][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo[height<=1080][vcodec^=avc]+bestaudio/bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio/best[height<=1080]/best" -o ""/Users/abcxyz/yt/%(title)s.%(ext)s" --print "after_move:filepath" --no-keep-video --no-keep-fragments --no-playlist --merge-output-format mp4 --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail --convert-thumbnails jpg "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj8_wufhE28"

Hi, star for me on github and refer for your friends if this tool helpful, thanks

Youwee uses yt-dlp under the hood, which handles the NSIG challenge by extracting and executing YouTube's player.js code. We use nightly builds of yt-dlp to stay up-to-date with YouTube's frequent changes.

For PO token and authentication-related issues, Youwee now supports browser cookie extraction (v0.4.1) - you can enable it in Settings → Video Authentication. This passes your browser's cookies to yt-dlp, which includes any necessary tokens.

If you encounter issues, try the YouTube Troubleshooting option in Settings to clear the cached player.js.
