About a year ago I managed to download a short music video from Youtube without even trying. It was a total accident and to this day I have no idea how I did it. It's sitting on my hard-drive in my downloads folder and I watch it from time to time. But it's a mystery how I managed it. I've tried again and again to repeat the feat with others, but with no success!
4K Video Downloader for Windows seems to work well. You can find it here: https://4k-video-downloader.en.softonic.com/
If you identify the video's URL from the top of the screen and copy it (highlight and Control-C), simply clicking the "Paste Link" will set the application running. It will "parse" the link (make sure it's valid) and then give you the option to download it and save it to a location of your choosing. It works well on any video site and irrespective of which browser you are using.
