What’s the best YouTube ripper to get lossless HD files? I use Wondershare and lose clarity and resolution when I rip, even though my rip settings are 1080p

Would love to have this on a file for my computer from Stuttgart.

Thanks for the link.

I could be wrong, but I think something to do with how YouTube stores the files on its servers makes it impossible to rip (ie download) 1080 files. Any 1080 'rippers' have to convert (ie re-encode) the file, hence the quality loss. The highest resolution files that can be simply ripped from YT are 720. As I said, I could be wrong, it's a long time since I checked this out.

As for which apps, there are many Firefox (and I would assume Chrome) extensions that can do this. I've tried most of them and they are much the same.

With 4k Video Downloder you can download 1080p videos from Youtube.

Hey!

Thanks for the uploads :-) Just downloaded them, but the files (6 in total) look like this:
The Rolling Stones - FULL SET Live @ Stuttgart.zip.005 (this is the 5th one)
...and don't have the mp4 extension (I tried adding the extension manually but this doesn't seem to work).

Can u help me understand what I need to do or what I'm doing wrong? I'm usually pretty good at this sort of stuff, but this one has me scratching my head (and I really want it as I was there in GA!).

Cheerzzzzzzzzz

the files are packed in a zip-file, so you have to unzip the downloaded files.

I unzipped the 3 zip files (each link led to a zip file containing 2 files)...which gives me a total of 6 files. Am I therefore supposed to unzip these 6 individual files?
If so, what software is needed, my computer doesn't seem to allow me to unzip them with Winzip or Winrar?

sorry for all this confusion. i packed the files with 7zip. hope that helps.

Arf...dunno what I'm doing wrong. I just downloaded/installed 7zip (that was easy!), but when I try to unzip (for example) "The Rolling Stones - FULL SET Live @ Stuttgart.zip.005" it says that the file cannot be opened as an archive.

Am I supposed to unzip the 6 files with 7zip? Or was I supposed to unzip the 3 files I got from the 3 download links with 7zip? (cuz I unzipped the 3 main ones with my usual Winzip software and now I just have 6 strange files that I don't know what to do with - and I no longer have the 3 original zipped files I got from the 3 links)

Or maybe I'm doing something wrong when I right click on the above-mentioned file, 7zip seems to offer tons of options and maybe I'm just picking the wrong one.
