I'm looking for a good, reliable way to download embedded YouTube videos. These videos are not always accessible on YouTube.com, so the method can't be specific to that site. Thanks for any recommendations!

I don't know that I've ever had jdownloader 2 fail to download a video- maybe give that a go.

95% of the sites I tried jDownloader works. Nice thing is, you can just copy and paste the URL if the site, no need to crawl for the video stream url.

Highly recommended

YT-DLP always works great for YouTube and some other sites. There are also a few browser extensions around, called similar to Video Download Helper. But don't install the super fishy ones, I don't know which of them are good.
