4K Video Downloader Plus

About this release

This is the paste and go downloader. A link goes in, the program inspects what is actually available behind it, and every real quality, format and audio track appears in one list rather than being hidden behind a default. High resolution and high frame rate variants are offered where the source has them, along with the separate audio streams and any subtitle tracks.

It handles collections as well as single items. A playlist or a whole channel downloads in one action with a naming and folder template applied, and subscribing to a channel means new items arrive automatically without the link ever being pasted again. For anyone archiving a series or a course, that is the entire feature list in two sentences.

Output is flexible. Video saves in the common container formats, audio extracts on its own for music or lectures, subtitles download as sidecar files or burn into the picture, and there is a device preset list so a file lands in a format a phone, tablet or television will actually play without a separate conversion step.

The Plus build removes the limits of the basic version: unlimited items per playlist, parallel downloads, no interruptions, and a scheduler so a large queue runs overnight when the connection is quiet. An in application browser handles the sites that will not surrender a direct link, and a proxy setting covers connections that need one.
