What's the best way to download long (5-6 hour) YouTube videos?

If you use yt-dlp to download a long video like that, YouTube may detect it and block it. In that case, you can use the download-sections option to download it in one-hour or two-hour chunks--e. g., --download-sections "*0-3600".

Too many people still use Win10 or Linux for them to prevent downloading. The hardware encryption support of Win11 would prevent yt-dlp from a simple file download.

9XBUDDY is a versatile website that can download parts of youtube videos in addtion to the entire video. But there are times you may want just the MP3 or even ONLY the thumbnail images off it. Or you can simply download only the captions file for the video. The 9XBUDDY site constantly updates its download tool for the various other video websites.
