Unable to download YouTube videos

[Daoud65]

I have the most recent VideoLAN software and am running the latest version of MacOS Montery on a Macbook Pro. Several years ago, I was able to follow the process to download YouTube videos, but am no longer able to do so.

I will open VideoLAN and select "Open Network" then enter the URL and click "Open" on the bottom right of the screen.

In the playlist window, I see a line flash in the playlist, and then it disappears and I am unable to find any information when I go and open the "Media Information" window.

Any help on this issue is much appreciated as I am trying to recover videos that I produced many years ago for a support group for bipolar children. I am unable to recover several videos on a YouTube channel that I once owned.

Me, too. I can only assume that the YT video file I am trying to save is copyrighted to prevent any type of saving or exporting?
