youtube-dlc is a Python-based command-line media downloader and library for downloading videos from YouTube and other video platforms, forked from youtube-dl to merge community-tested features faster. It has been superseded by the yt-dlp fork and its last release was in September 2021.
Use cases
- download videos from youtube
- save videos from other streaming platforms
- extract audio from online videos
- download subtitles along with videos
- batch download playlists
- script video downloads in python
When to choose
- you need a legacy youtube-dl fork compatible with older workflows
- you are maintaining scripts pinned to youtube-dlc
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use yt-dlp instead
- you need actively maintained site extractors
- you need bug fixes or new platform support
