In the digital age, we often need to download videos from the Internet for offline viewing or backup. However, downloading large amounts of videos manually is time-consuming and tedious. This article will introduce how to use specialized software to download videos in batches and save them as local files.
First, we need a powerful video download tool. Videoder is a very popular choice that supports batch downloading of videos from multiple websites, including YouTube, Facebook, etc. Here are the steps for batch downloading using Videoder:
1. Visit Videoder’s official website at https://www.videoder.com/. Click the Download button to get the version for your operating system.
2. After the installation is complete, open the Videoder application.
3. Find the link to the video you want to download in your browser. Copy the link to your clipboard.
4. Return to the Videoder program, click the "Paste URL" button on the main interface, and then select the video quality you want to download. You can also set the download path here.
5. If you need to download multiple videos in batches, just repeat the above steps. Videoder allows users to add multiple video links at once, thereby enabling batch downloading.
Besides Videoder, there are some other methods that can help you download videos in batches. For example, automated downloads can be achieved using Python scripts combined with third-party libraries. Here's a simple sample code to get you started with this approach:
`python
import youtube_dl
def download_video(url, output_path):
ydl_opts = {
'format': 'bestvideo+bestaudio/best',
'outtmpl': f'{output_path}/%(title)s.%(ext)s'
}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
ydl.download([url])
Example usage
urls = [
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example1",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example2"
]
for url in urls:
download_video(url, "/path/to/save/videos")
`
This script uses the youtube-dl library, which is an open source command line tool for downloading videos from various video websites. You can install this library via pip:
`
pip install youtube-dl
`
With the above method, you can easily download videos in batches and save them as local files. Whether using software with a graphical interface or programming methods, different needs and preferences can be met. I hope this article will be helpful to you and make your video downloading process easier and more efficient.
