About:
youtubedr is a command-line tool written in Go that downloads videos from YouTube. It supports various formats and resolutions, allowing users to save video content locally for offline viewing or processing. The tool leverages the ytdl library to parse video URLs and handle the download stream efficiently.

Key Features:

Written in Go for high performance and single-binary deployment
Supports multiple video formats and resolutions
Can download playlists or single videos
No external dependencies required

Use Cases:

Archiving educational content or tutorials for offline access
Downloading video assets for local media server libraries
Automating video retrieval for content analysis pipelines

Alternatives:

yt-dlp – yt-dlp is a Python-based fork of youtube-dl with broader site support and more frequent updates, whereas youtubedr offers a lightweight Go alternative.
youtube-dl – youtube-dl is the original Python script, widely supported but heavier and slower than the compiled Go binary of youtubedr.
