Can you recommend a YouTube video downloader for Mac?
I suggest giving a try on AllClipDown. I have been using it for months on MacBook Pro and downloaded hundreds of videos from youtube without any issue. It can also save and convert the video to MP3.
Here is the step-by-step guide you can check out: https://www.sandeski.com/bulk-download-youtube-videos
You can also download playlists, music and podcast as well on your Mac.
Indeed, it's too much trouble to find YouTube video downloader for Mac!
The download failure problem you mentioned, under what circumstances does it occur? Did the download cut off halfway through, or did you find the file corrupted after downloading? Also, which method did you use to download? Is it a browser plugin, terminal tool (like ytt-dllp), or an online site?
YouTube does encrypt or speed limit certain videos, and different tools handle it differently. What tool did you use before on Windows 11? See if there's a similar alternative on the Mac.

I tried several online youtube downloader mac tools, the download fails halfway, or the downloaded video has no sound. Then I switched to the terminal tool yt--dllp, although it can download 1080p, but some of the videos were downloaded and found that the audio and video were separated, and I had to merge them manually, which was a pain in the **bleep**.
What's the situation on your side? Have you encountered similar problems? I don't know if it's because YouTube has changed the encryption method again, but I feel it's much harder to download than before!
