Hi Guy's
I don't know if any of you download videos from YouTube Or anywhere else with subs, If you do, can you tell me what software prog you are using, or know of one I could use, tried YTD, and 4K video, but none of them download the sub's or captions, any help appreciated, and yes, I know that you can download an srt downloader, but that don't work well either ;)
Thanks
Les

If you can post a link to a video with subtitles or closed captions that I can use as the basis for experiments, Les, I am more than willing to investigate the options.

Thanks Phil, Try this one.

Without the subs on this video, it all sounds Chinese to me. ;D

Khoan Vong, you have his wife's link ;D.

Quite correct littlechilie,
But I think Qing is more of a home cook. in her style of doing things. ;D
-
OK, I used the standard Seamonkey "Youtube MP4 downloader" add-on, grabbed the corresponding .SRT file using Keepsubs.com, then muxed the two using VLC. But her Chinese is so good you shouldn't need subtitles !

It is Phil, she speaks it like a native ;D but not a lot of good to me If I don't understand Chinese.
Already tried Keepsubs.com, it was crap, I got more chance of understanding Qing, than trying to read that tripe.

Don't understand, Les; what Keepsubs.com returned to me appeared (at first sight, admittedly) to be what the original captions had read. I will test again and report back ...
Yes, the original captions. What do you see ?

What did he advise ?

I got his 4K downloader working Phil.
Some of the captions on Youtube are great :-\ :o. Its as if I translated them ;D

Aha. Thank you. Not having a 4K television I have never investigated this option. Indeed, it is only in the last year that I have upgraded one of our home sets from CRT to solid-state, and I still have a 36" CRT set in the dining room ...

I got his 4K downloader working
I'd never heard of this app but after seeing it first mentioned by Les here, I downloaded it and can see how useful it is. The files are MP4. Does that correspond with the native youtube format or is there any degredation?
How did you get Les's 4k downloader working?
-
Videos are what ever quality are on Youtube and he was using Smart Mode instead of Paste Link which gives you more options.
-
As a foot note George, I would suggest if you want to download video with sub titles, you use the VLC player, downloads are available, media player or divx player don't do it for me, and as Stu said, don't use smart mode.

Videos are what ever quality are on Youtube
The 4k product, with downloads in MP4 format, is of interest because MP4 files are relatively small and I may be able to play the videos on my tablet. But is the quality as good as the MPEG2 recordings I've made until now using a product called Replay Video Capture from Applian Technologies? I guess I can compare two recordings myself, and decide but I just wondered if 4k simply downloads the original file from youtube, and it happens to be in MP4. Replay Video Capture will include subtitles, of course, because it records everything you see on the screen. Highly recommended.
I see that in smart mode, there are various format options with 4K.

George, as you probably know, YouTube offers media in a variety of resolutions. For Vong's wife, for example :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAfrY8x6ehA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAfrY8x6ehA)
it offers 360p and 720p (some videos offer more options, and some even fewer). Using the Seamonkey plug-in "Download Youtube" :
https://github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube (https://github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube)
all of the available resolutions Less than or equal to 720p are exposed. Therefore what you download is what would otherwise be rendered on-screen, and must therefore be at least as good as any screen-capture software can accomplish and usually better.

I'm aware of resolutions and I generally watch at 720HD or 1080HD. If I download using the 4k program, I can select the highest resolution which is great, and what I would do.
Then it produces an mp4 file, which is far removed from lossless. I just wonder whether we are watching mp4 files on youtube or whether 4k converts whatever format is used by youtube, into mp4.

For HD, if your browser is detected as HTML 5-compatible, the video will be H.264 encoded. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding. Thus the raw data are already in MP4 format unless you do not have a HTML 5-compatible browser, in which case FLV will be served.

Phil - you are a mine of information! I'm using Google Chrome version 43.0.2357.81m within windows XP The files saved by the 4K programme are definitely saved on my SSD as MP4 files so, if the youtube native format is also MP4, as you say it is, then I'm so grateful to Les for flagging up the 4K product. Why download anything though? From my point of view, videos may be deleted for some reason, or perhaps youtube could become a subscription service. Grab anything interesting, while you can, is my thinking.
