I'm looking for a good, reliable way to download embedded YouTube videos. These videos are not always accessible on YouTube.com, so the method can't be specific to that site. Thanks for any recommendations!

In my experience nowadays video is often streamed with something like hls and pieced together with a javascript player. If that's the case inspecting the source won't help you much as its hundreds of 4s snippets or something like that. It could be worth a try but often times you really need a tool to do it.
