Windows desktop app for downloading videos via yt-dlp, with a bundled custom FFmpeg for post-processing/remuxing.
What's new since v0.6.0
- Added a proper MSI installer (
VideoDownloader-0.7.0-Setup.msi), built with the WiX Toolset — installs per-machine to Program Files with a Start Menu shortcut and supports silent installs (msiexec /i ... /quiet). Replaces the old, brokenSetup.vdprojthat required the (deprecated) Visual Studio Installer Projects extension. - The portable
.zipremains available for anyone who'd rather not install anything.
Features
- Paste a link (or auto-detect one from the clipboard) and pick a video/audio quality, or auto-select the best available.
- Batch downloads: drag-and-drop a list of URLs, or load them from a
.txtfile. - Configurable number of simultaneous downloads.
- Per-job progress (percentage, speed, ETA) with cancel support.
- Download history with search, one-click redownload, "open in browser", and a clear-history action.
- Light/Dark/System UI theme, switchable at runtime.
- Automatically keeps the bundled
yt-dlp.exeup to date on startup. - UI available in English and Polish.
Requirements: Windows, .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.
Run VideoDownloader-0.7.0-Setup.msi to install, or download VideoDownloader-v0.7.0-win-x64.zip, extract, and run VideoDownloader.Wpf.exe for a portable copy.
