About this release

4K Video Downloader Plus does what its name says and rather more. You paste a link, it reads what is available at the other end, and it offers you every quality and format the source is actually serving rather than a guess. That includes the highest resolution streams, the separate audio tracks, the alternate codecs and the subtitle files, and it recombines the separate video and audio streams that modern sites deliver into one playable file.

Beyond single videos it handles playlists and whole channels in one action, with a limit you set, and it can subscribe to a channel so new uploads download automatically as they appear. There is a smart mode that applies your last used settings to everything you paste, which turns the whole thing into copy and paste with no dialogs. In app search means you do not have to open a browser at all for the sites it supports.

Format handling is broad. Video out as MP4, MKV or the original container. Audio extracted as MP3, M4A or OGG at your chosen bitrate. Subtitles either embedded into the container or saved as separate files, in as many languages as the source provides, including automatically generated tracks. Playlists can be written out with the correct numbering and metadata so a music player reads them properly.

There is a proxy configuration for restricted connections, a download queue with concurrency limits and bandwidth capping so a large batch does not saturate the line, and a duplicate check so a second attempt on the same link does not produce two copies. The interface stays out of the way and the entire application is small, which is a reasonable part of why it stayed popular while heavier alternatives came and went.

What you get

  • Quality and format selection reflecting exactly what the source is serving
  • Automatic recombination of separate video and audio streams into one file
  • Playlist and whole channel downloading with configurable limits
  • Channel subscriptions that pull new uploads automatically
  • Smart mode applying saved settings to every pasted link with no dialog
  • In app search so a browser is never required for supported sites
  • Audio extraction to MP3, M4A or OGG at a chosen bitrate
  • Subtitle download in every available language, embedded or as sidecar files
  • Proxy support, bandwidth capping and concurrency limits on the queue
  • Duplicate detection so a repeated link does not produce a second copy

Changes in this build

  • Site extractor set refreshed after recent changes across several major platforms
  • Faster stream merging with hardware accelerated remuxing where available
  • Subscription checker rewritten to use far less bandwidth while idle
  • Queue manager now resumes cleanly after an unexpected shutdown
  • Interface reorganised with downloads and subscriptions on separate tabs

Installation

Read the whole list before you start. Most of the reports that come into the desk about this title turn out to be a step taken out of order.

  1. Unpack the archive to a local folder.
  2. Disconnect from the network before running the installer.
  3. Run setup as administrator and pick your download folder on the first run screen.
  4. Close the application if it launches by itself.
  5. Copy the included patched executable over the one in the install directory.
  6. Block the updater in your firewall and start the application from the Start menu.

System requirements

ProcessorAny Intel or AMD processor, dual core or better
Memory2 GB minimum, 4 GB recommended
GraphicsAny GPU, hardware decoding used for merging where present
Storage300 MB for the install plus space for downloads
Display1024 by 768 or higher

Notes from the desk

If a link suddenly fails, the site changed something at their end. The extractor set updates independently of the application version.

Set a concurrency limit of three or four. Higher numbers get throttled at the source rather than going faster.
