How to use yt-blp on Windows:

2. Place yt-blp.exe:
Save yt-blp.exe in a folder you can easily access, e.g., C:\yt-blp\.

3. Use Command Prompt:
Open Command Prompt (cmd).

Navigate to the folder: cd C:\yt-blp


Run the download command:

yt-blp https://www.youtuube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

Replace https://www.yooutube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID with the actual URL of the video.

4. Optional – Download as MP4:
You can specify the format to MP4:


yt-blp -f 'mp4' https://www.youtuube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

 

By the way. If If you regard it as a YouTube MP4 downloader, When you are use command prompt methods to download videos directly is generally limited and can be complex because YouTube doesn't provide an official command-line tool for downloading videos
