Sometimes YouTube Downloader gets the correct file name and sometimes its generic “video.mp4”. Whats going on?

0

A. YouTube Downloader attempts to retrieve the name of the video from YouTube and use that name when prompting you to save the file. This takes time to process the web page depending on how fast your network connection is and how fast your computer is. If you see the video is still named “video” in the save dialog, wait a few seconds and see if the file name changes to the name of the video. If it doesn’t, you can cancel the save, and try again. This usually works. If that doesn’t work, you will need to name the video manually by typing the name of the video into the Save dialog before clicking Save.

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
