This is a AHK Script for downloading videos and music from YouTube and other websites.

This is basically a GUI wrapper for python based youtube-dl project.

STEP 1 :

Download AutoHotkey and install it. (Required for running the script)

STEP 2 :

Download FFmpeg (Required for conversion and combining video and audio of video)

Download youtube-dl (Required for downloading videos and audio)

Optional - Download phantomjs (Needed only for webpages which requires native JS extraction)

Copy the code from YouTubeDL.ahk

 After installing AutoHotkey

 1. Create a empty AHK script by right clicking anywhere on Desktop/Any Folder 
   after that select New > AutoHotkey Script

 2. Copy the code and paste it into the new script and save it as YouTubeDL.ahk

STEP 3:

Copy all 3 files in same folder (Script won't work if these files are not in same folder)

 YouTubeDL.ahk
 FFmpeg.exe
 youtube-dl.exe
 phantomjs.exe (Optional)

STEP 1 :

 Double click on the YouTubeDL.ahk

STEP 2 :

  Enter the video URL to download and select between video/audio.

STEP 3:

  Select the output folder to save the video and check if you want Fast Mode 
  
  If Fast Mode is checked skip STEP 4 

Fast Mode - Skips the metadata import process required for choosing the quality for download instead it always downloads best quality avaiable (Works only for Youtube).

STEP 4:

  Wait for video parsing process to complete and select the quality in which you want to download.
