Video Download
This block downloads videos from URLs, supporting a wide range of video platforms and direct links.
Video Download
What it is
Download video from URL (YouTube, Vimeo, news sites, direct links)
How it works
The block uses yt-dlp, a powerful video downloading library that supports over 1000 websites. It accepts a URL, quality preference, and output format, then downloads the video while merging the best available video and audio streams for the selected quality. Quality options: best (highest available), 1080p/720p/480p (maximum resolution at that height), audio_only (extracts just the audio track).
