Can’t download this YouTube video. (solved)
August 3rd, 2016
I’m having a problem. I’ve got a music video I would love to download from YouTube but
every time I try it doesn’t work. I’ve tried jDownloader, capture websites and a load of
other options even IDM. The closest I’ve come is downloading the mp4 but not being
able to open it for it’s always a broken file.
Can anyone download the 720p version of this for me or tell me a way that works
to get it?

Thanks.

I can download it.
IDM – start the video, change resolution, click the advert away, wait for video to start a second or so and change the resolution again.
When you click the IDM bar you see all these unlabelled mp4 files – ignore them and select download all.
Now IDM will list them all AND their sizes – tick the largest one (most likely to be the 720p one) and away you go.
try downloadhelper add on for firefox, it lets you download in different resolutions and if you want you can copy link location to idm
I tried downloadhelper and it showed the files to download but wouldn’t download anything more than a 0kb file when I selected them. As for IDM, I did exactly as you suggested too. Downloaded the entire MP4 file (around 50mb) then when I try to open the finished download with VLC nothing happens. It won’t open. If you know of any other ideas please feel free.
Yes, they have deliberately bastardised the codec used.
It won’t play with MPC HC either, BUT FFPlay from FFMPEG works perfectly.
I’ll upload my ffplay for you, it’s cmd line only, so you’d use it like this:
ffplay.exe video.mp4
either from cmd lind or a bat file.

or you can go here and grab the full ffmpeg library:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
Just grab (1/2 way down the page) wichever build fits your windows – 32 bit or 64 bit, or use my ffplay above (it’s the same as in their package)
dude check this app:
VideoGet v6.0.2.66

Thank you everyone for your help. I know this is a big ask, but I was asked myself. Is there anyway to have this video (the 720p) converted
but keep the same quality so it can be played in the future on a PC without needing a special codec download/running a bat etc.?
Yup:
If you grabbed the full ffmpeg suite, use this
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec ac3 -ar 48000 -ab 192k -ac 2 -q:v 3 -aspect 16:9 output.avi
cmd line of bat file, change input.mp4 to the file name and output.avi to what name you want.
It’ll take about 5 mins on an i7 laptop.
Hard to find but heres a website that auto does it too without the software.

You’d still need to convert it – the codec they used is a weird Chinese one.
But, yes, that’s a good website..
