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, broken Setup.vdproj that required the (deprecated) Visual Studio Installer Projects extension.
  • The portable .zip remains 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 .txt file.
  • 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.exe up 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.
