Video is blank but downloaded

[davistheweb]

Just wasted my data in downloading video that saved as mp4 audio

That is strange. Are you using a video player that can handle youtube's codecs? Use something like VLC, not the default media player built into windows. Also make sure your settings are set to download videos too and not only audio. To be sure you can send a screenshot of your settings here and I'll verify it

ooh, so sorry, I have deleted the app already, I used different types of video player, Also...
I ensured my setting was on video download.
It was up to 130 videos but none were visible ,
Am just trying to say the video is blank but the audio plays
example:
The video saved as "Mini exercise project overview audio.webm", some saved with 'audio.mp4;
Another weird part is that the video was not saving in the folder i provided for it, it was saving in user/appdata/local/temp, instead of the video folder.
Thanks

No worries if you already deleted the app.

The problem you are describing is very common, you just need to run it as administrator. The program saves the audio and video separately in the temp folder because youtube doesn't provide videos with audio, its separated into audio + video, so it needs to be merged. After saving both video and audio, the program merges it into 1 file.

The reason why the files don't show up in the selected directory its because the program doesn't have permission to write files there, which is solved by running it as administrator.

So the bottom line is, run it as administrator and it will work.
