lol, are you a developer? I told you in the video what the file format is. You could also just show extention to see.

[@Jimbob_Offical]

@@BleepingWorld cheers and no I’m not a developer, I’m actually a media tech student, I’m studying camera systems and codecs at the moment. For one of my assignments I had to answer the question “what is the difference between intra and inter compression types” I was doing a demonstration between normal KZbin streaming and the premium download option and how KZbin uses compression when downloading a file locally. And how it will likely use inter frame compression.

[@BleepingWorld]

@@Jimbob_Offical Ahh... But I think you would need to use a steaming platform that downloads files as a standard video format like MP4, MKV, AVI. So I dont think you will be able to use KZbin for anything but the Streaming part of your project?

[@BleepingWorld]

Yea, I'm sorry. Unless you own the videos, You cannot download KZbin videos by any official or approved methods by KZbin. KZbin only supports video downloads through YT Premium, and you don't get an MP4 or AVI. But they are in a format that is readable by the KZbin app for Off-line viewing. The folder that I showed should be on Firefox. Are you sure you located the correct folder for Firefox cache?

Is that how it works or is there any settings I am missing. Kindly help. Thank you.

Which extensions are you using if any on chrome?

[@AG-fr4rf]

@@BleepingWorld I'm not using any extensions in Chrome browser and am using the most updated version of Chrome. As per my little research & analysis, I doubt this is happening due Indexeddb data persistent issue on Chrome browser. And If it's true, the mere KZbin premium membership is a waste if it was subscribed for viewing downloaded videos offline. Explained that, I would really appreciate if you have any workaround for this issue ?

[@BleepingWorld]

@@AG-fr4rf If you are not using extensions, then maybe you have the settings in chrome set to delete cookies & cache every time the browser is closed.

[@AG-fr4rf]

@@BleepingWorld Thanks for replying. As a check, I did not close the browser but just signed out of my youtube premium account. The moment I sign out keeping the browser intact without closing it, the contents (say including a downloaded video clip for an offline view about 5mb ) in the folder "https_www.youtube.com_0.indexeddb.blob" gets deleted automatically. So, it's happening the moment I sign-out of my youtube premium account and not at the time the browser is closed.

[@BleepingWorld]

I think your browser must me set to clear cache on close. Or you have some enhanced security options turned on in your browser.

[@billjohnson3022]

Real downloads can be edited, sliced and diced but with KZbin "downloads" you're lucky if you can play them as they have a habit of disappearing.

On mobile I think the youtube downloads are on a timer if that's what you mean? They are still real downloads but I agree. It would be nice if they worked with normal video players.

[@velkanzi]

@@BleepingWorld Really? It gets worse. Two reasons to download is because videos on YT have a habit of disappearing. And becoming unfindable due to newly uploaded videos coming up first in searches, effectively burying older videos.

This is absurd, Paying for KZbin Premium at about $25 per month doesn't allow you to download files to your PC to use any which way you want like say storing on a PLEX Library folder but a Free KZbin downloader does??? How does this make any sense? even for sound/music, KZbin to MP3 Downloader converts it instantly into your Downloads Folder in MP3 format??? it truly makes zero sense

[@BleepingWorld]

I don't think you are suppose to be using free downloader websites. I'm pretty sure they are against KZbin TOS. How do you get movies for your PLEX library?

[@javiermigoya]

​@@BleepingWorld It's software that has been around forever and a day, KZbin Video to MP3 Converters, KZbin Video Downloaders and any Websites, this type of software has truly been around I'm guessing even before KZbin existed, but you don't even need any of this because everyone knows if you have a Graphics card (GPU) you can Screen Capture any Full Screen Video at 30, 60, 120 FPS your GPU software, file would be large then just Handbrake it down to a fraction of the size with little to no quality loss, when there's a will there's a way, this is just something literally everyone knows, but options are endless so it just strikes me as odd why KZbin Premium would put that limitation

[@BleepingWorld]

​@@javiermigoya I think KZbin does it as a deterrent. Not everyone knows how to do the things you just mentioned. Even if they do it takes a lot of time and its just a pain to do. I am pretty sure if they just gave you MP4 there would be a lot more copying going on that KZbin doesn't want. It also makes it worse for us creators. People like to copy videos and reupload them. We have to file to get them taken down.

[@javiermigoya]

@@BleepingWorld Yeah, I see your point, funny enough I used to do Audio Dubbing in the 80s with a Sony Betamax, It had a Mic Plug that you could hit record while the video was playing and record over your voice, I have one of those videos posted on my channel, A tiny Channel never monetized never did anything with it along with a Video and Audio Dub with scenes and Audio From the Movie Scarface with David Guetta's song The World is Mine playing in the Background, this video I uploaded to KZbin 14 years ago > kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKPSZaKoe9VoptE only has 81k views but surfing the web 7-8 years ago I came across my video the same Scarface on a Foreign Site with 2.5 Million views so I completely see your point LOL, again never did anything, tried top find it years later to see how popular it was just for the shear rush of knowing that many people liked it but I couldn't find it, couldn't remember the site either lol

There might be an application you can download. But this is really a format used in coding for storing large files in a database. If you know how to code you can save an MP4 to a database and then extra the data to a file and save it.
