Common Questions & Troubleshooting
Why am I getting a 'Media not found' error?
Make sure the video is public. Private, age-restricted, members-only and removed videos can't be downloaded.
Does 1080p video include sound?
Yes. YouTube keeps picture and sound as separate streams; our server joins them into one MP4, so your video has its original sound.
