[AmosRobinson]

I'm using Windows 11 recently and I want to find a best  video downloader for PC Windows 11, but there are so many options on the market that I don't know which one is the best. I've tried some tools before, but they always have too many ads, slow download speeds, or poor quality. Can anyone recommend a good Windows 11/10 video downloader? It's best if it's easy to use, fast, and doesn't affect the video quality. Thanks for your suggestions!

@AmosRobinson You can download any video with the help of Edge browser. Using the "Network" tab of Edge browser's developer tools to find and download video links is a very technical method. This method does not require the installation of additional video downloader for PC, but it is more complicated to operate, especially if you are not familiar with network requests and resource loading.  In addition, video links may be encrypted for copyright protection, which means that even if you find the link, you may not be able to download it successfully.

This method requires some basic technical knowledge, especially in identifying the correct video file link. In addition, due to YouTube's security and copyright protection mechanisms, this method may not work sometimes.

I have tried it a few times. After finding the .mp4 file, I just right-clicked and saved it. It saved me a lot of trouble.

However, sometimes the video links on some websites may be difficult to find, especially those that are encrypted or fragmented. Have you ever encountered this situation? If you encounter such a video, how would you deal with it? Did you also use a professional video downloader for PC Windows?
