Some videos are available in different resolutions. Some have as many |
| 71 |
as 6 or 8 different ones. With downloadhelper, you can pick which one |
| 72 |
you want. I'm not sure if youtube-dl does or not. Also, I download |
| 73 |
videos from lots of sites. I don't actually use youtube a lot. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
Good idea for folks that use youtube a lot tho. |
