Any Video Downloader Pro

About this release

This is a straightforward tool for pulling video and audio off the web onto a local disk. A link goes in the box, the program works out what is actually behind it, and a list of every available quality and format comes back to choose from. Segmented transfer pulls several parts at once, so a large file arrives far faster than a single stream would manage, and the queue keeps working through whatever has been added.

Site coverage is the practical measure of a tool like this, and it is broad. Video platforms, social networks, streaming sites, educational platforms and audio services are all handled, and the site definitions update regularly, which matters because these things break whenever a site changes how it delivers media. Playlists, channels and whole series can be queued in one action rather than link by link.

The Pro feature set adds the things that turn it from a one file tool into something that handles a job. Batch downloading with an unlimited queue, subtitle capture in the available languages either as a sidecar file or burned into the video, thumbnail and metadata retrieval so the file arrives with a title and cover attached, and scheduling so a large queue runs overnight instead of during working hours.

Conversion is built into the same pass. Anything downloaded can be written directly to a different container or codec, audio extracted to a common format at a chosen bitrate, or converted to a device preset, without a separate application in the middle. There is also a browser inside the program for finding material, and a monitor that detects media playing in the system browser and offers to capture it.
