I want to download a couple of videos from creators I like, to keep them in case they are ever lost later (whether due to censorship or drama, etc). What is the best method to use for getting files from youtube? bonus points especially if they result in file types that I can burn to a dvd.

If you don't feel confortable with CLI tools their is graphical front-ends for yt-dlp such as Open Video Downloader or stacher but using yt-dlp is always better
