Sometimes we need to download the video on the web page to share or recreate, or you know. When the relevant website does not provide video download or does not provide the service of saving the video to the local, what should we do?
On the mobile phone, screen recording can be used, but the files obtained from the screen recording are generally larger. IPhone can write a shortcut for one-click download, as shown in the figure below, this article will not discuss the implementation method.
There are many ways to implement it on the PC side. Common ones include screen recording, Chrome browser installation of corresponding plug-ins, Edge browser installation of plug-ins, Python crawlers, and so on.
This article shares the use of the command line program you-get to download videos from web pages.
You get is an open source library of Python on GitHub(link)，the latest version is 0.4.1555。
The official introduction is：
You-Get is a small command-line utility for downloading media (video, audio and images) from the Web when there are no other means to do so. It can download video and audio files from such popular web sites as YouTube, Twitter, Niconico, Vimeo, Flickr, Instagram and a whole lot more.
You-Get is a great option for when you want to enjoy your favorite videos, audio or images from the internet without having to open any web browsers or get interrupted by ads. It’s also a good choice for when you want to get rid of any closed-source technology or proprietary JavaScript code from running on your computer.
You need to install python3 and pip before installing you get，You must have installed them. I won’t repeat it here.
There are many ways to install you-get, and we choose the most convenient PIP installation method. Open the CMD (PowerShell) window and enter the following code to install you-get
pip install you-get
Or download it on this website：https://sourceforge.net/projects/you-get.mirror/
After installation, view the version information on the command line：
PS C:\Users\dahu> you-get --v
you-get: version 0.4.1520, a tiny downloader that scrapes the web.
After you-get is installed, it can be used directly on the command line. A simple command line can realize video download, or it can be used in Python script to complete more complex work.
Generally, many languages can use the ‘help’ parameter to view the help and description of related function packages or functions. The optional parameters of you get are as follows:

Check this video Clarity available for save，The value of format field is the parameter of downloading videos with different definition.
Saving this video，Select MP4 format 1080p definition and save it in the local disk directory ‘F: \ say love you’.
Go to the corresponding location of the computer to view: (where XML is the bullet screen file of the video, and those interested can further merge the bullet screen with the video)
Tips：There are generally two video formats: MP4 and flv. If saved in MP4 format, a web video will correspond to three local files after downloading: barrage XML, video MP4, audio MP4, namely audio and video separation, needs to be further synthesized by itself; This is not the case with FLV format (you can watch it directly with iqiyi). However, MP4 is a commonly used format, so you need to install ‘ffmpeg’ on your PC for automatic synthesis. The appeal example is my download effect after installing ffmpeg, which automatically combines audio and video, which is very convenient.
FFmpeg：A set of open source computer programs that can be used to record, convert digital audio and video, and convert them into streams.
（1）Go to ffmpeg official website https://ffmpeg.org/download.html Download the installation package. Or download directly from my GitHub or gitee. (it may be faster to use gitee)
github地址：click here
gitee地址：click here
（2）After downloading, unzip the file and enter the bin directory. You can see ffmpeg.exe、ffplay.exe、ffprobe.exe three files. OK, go to the next step.
（3）Set the environment variable, click “system properties - > Advanced - > environment variable - > user variable”, select the entry “path”, click “Edit - > new”, copy and paste the bin folder path in the first step, and then click OK.
（4）We open the CMD command line window and enter the command “ffmpeg – version”. The window returns the version information of ffmpeg, indicating that the installation is successful.
Next, don’t worry. After downloading with you get, it will automatically merge audio and video.
For example, download a video collection of bilibili, note that the ` – playlist 'option is required here.
After merging videos with this method, it is possible that when using win10’s “movie and TV” for playback, it will prompt that it cannot be decoded and need to install hevc extension, but the extension is charged for power on at Microsoft.
If you don’t want to pay, you can download it directly in my warehouse in section ‘3.1’, and double-click to install it.
