This is a Python script that allows you to download YouTube videos and save them in the MP4 format. The script uses the yt_dlp library for downloading videos.

To use this script, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install the required libraries by running the following command:

2. Clone the repository or download the script file.

3. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed on your system.

4. Run the script using the following command: pip install yt_dlp

1. When prompted, enter the URL or ID of the YouTube playlist you want to download. If you want to download a single video, enter the video's URL or ID.

2. The script will download the videos and save them in the format playlist_title/video_title.mp4 for playlists or video_title.mp4 for single videos. The downloaded videos will be saved in the same directory as the script.

If you want to change the output format or video quality, you can modify the options in the script:

• Output Format: By default, the script saves videos in the MP4 format. If you want to change the output format, modify the merge_output_format option in the options dictionary.

• Video Quality: The script downloads the best available video and audio quality by default. If you want to change the video quality, modify the format option in the options dictionary. You can refer to the yt_dlp documentation for more information on available format options.

The yt_dlp library is released under an open-source license and can be used free of charge. However, using and downloading videos from YouTube may violate YouTube's policies and regulations. Make sure to comply with YouTube's terms of service and only use this library for personal purposes.
