   It's quite sad that a 3rd-party tool makes it exponentially easier for a Youtube creator to download their own videos than YouTube does.

   After being away for so long, I wanted to spend some time collecting and archiving all my video content. Well, in YouTube Studio, I can only download one video at a time, at 720p.

   With Video Downloader, I can just dial up the URL to a playlist and download several in a batch -- at 1080p.

     And DONE! Thanks a ton to the devs and contributors responsible for Video Downloader (https://github.com/unrud/video-downloader) and (yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp). You made this little archiving project a breeze!

     UPDATE: Just noticed it downloads at up to 4K resolution. If that's the uploaded quality, you can set Video Downloader to snag that. Confirmed with several of my own videos.
