- High-quality download options. Depending on what is available from the source, you can download videos in resolutions such as 8K, 4K, and 1080p and select available subtitles and audio tracks.
- Flexible output quality and size control. Adjust the resolution, video bitrate, frame rate, and audio quality to prioritize higher quality or reduce the output file size.
How to Download Videos from YouTube as MP4
Step 1 Add Video URLs
Launch Any Video Converter, open the Video Download tool, and click Add URL(s).
Copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to download, paste it into the input box, and click Parse Now to start analyzing the link.
Step 2 Choose MP4 as Output Format and Configure Output Settings
In the Output Profile in the right panel, choose Custom to open its settings:
Note: Custom is a premium feature available with Any Video Converter Pro and Ultimate.
Choose MP4 or MP4 H264 as the output format. Selecting MP4 H264 may require the video to be re-encoded, so the processing time is slightly longer than saving it as a standard MP4.
You can also customize the resolution, video bitrate, frame rate, audio quality, subtitles, and audio tracks.
Tips:
- Enable Auto File Renaming to customize the renaming rules and keep your video or music library organized.
- Create an Auto Download task to automatically download new videos from the monitored playlist or channel.
