Yt-dlp seems quite solid, there are several ports of the program. In
theory it is considered to be a replacement for YouTube dl, which indeed
is no longer being updated.

The biggest problem is that youtube is constantly changing their site to foil
downloaders.?? The program referred to in this thread youtube-dl has an older
version as mentioned, that runs on python 2. something, and that version no
longer works, because it hasn't been updated in a very long time.?? I
actually wasn't aware they'd made a newer version, so perhaps I'll need to
track it down and see if it works well enough or not.
Youtube does have a subscription level that allows you to download videos for
offline viewing, but I don't know what it costs, since I have too many
subscriptions already, and don't use youtube often enough for it to matter if
I can download the videos or not.
But, for what it's worth, porting the older youtube-dl shouldn't be a
problem, just be aware that it probably won't work.

Someone on our Facebook group asked this question about a year ago, asking
is there was a DOS program to download YouTube videos so you could watch
them later.
The answer was No, sorry. But that was a year ago, maybe someone here
knows of something since then.
