Hey there, I was wondering how do I archive YouTube videos manually instead of using an open-source software like TubeUp to upload automatically to the Internet Archive using the HTML5 Uploader?

For example, I have chosen the right video file that's considered a YouTube video after downloading it using the converter. I revise the title into the original and change the page URL into this ID-like format (youtube-XXXXXXXXX) and then copied everything off of the metadata such as the description, tags (gotta include the "video" subject (optional), especially the category too), and the original uploader and the date of the video. Lastly, I'm making sure to put the language and the license only if this is optional to include, then putting the additional metadata which I need the originalurl, channel, and the runtime.

I FOUND A GREAT ONE RECENTLY!

it even downloads the subtitles!

it's this one
https://freemediadownloader.com

it's great! it even saves the original titles as the file name so you don't need to rename it!!!!

I suggest! I recently used to to download and upload the onions sex house (forgive me it's what it's called.)

though I just usually look at the videos and transcribe the date, and uploader.

I have obligation to also mention yt-dl

it does all the things you want, but it's a git hub thing idk how it works, everyone I know RAVES about it so it must be good!

but who knows how to use GitHub? not me!

oh, I completely misread this (facepalm)

yes you can actually, you just have to go to edit information.

and such I think?

haven't gotten to that point yet, I only just figured out how to organise titles.
