I want to copy a video from YouTube to my iMac and directly onto a USB stick.
There seem to be quite a few methods of doing this according to Google.
Can anyone on this NG point me in the best direction.

4K Video Downloader

<https://www.4kdownload.com/products/videodownloader-25>

There’s some restrictions such as the number you can download per day
without paying a fee.

I’ve had some success with VLC Media Player in the past.

+1 for 4K. Free & very easy to use. I've downloaded over 100 films off
YT so far this year.

Indeed it is. If you don’t have Python3 installed, you’ll get prompted to
