Downloaded video without audio.

Post by florante24 »

I downloaded several videos on Youtube but upon playing them, I couldn't hear anything. There isn't any audio in the video. I looked up the properties of the video and there's no data for the audio.

When downloading form Daily Motion, there is audio.

I tried re-installing the program, but it still didn't work. There's still no audio just video.

How do I fix this and download videos with audio in Youtube again?

I really don't know what is going on with the program passat1943. I downloaded a lot to videos yesterday and they are all fine. They have audio. It is only today that I have experienced this problem. I'm using this downloader because it downloads 1080p from Youtube. I have tried other downloaders but they only download 720p at max.

I hope that the developers of this downloader can address our problems and fix it.

YouTube made a minor change today to the audio files.

We have fixed the problem and have a beta version at the moment.

To use it, just download the file from .... and overwrite the old ChrisPCTube.exe file from ChrisPC VideoTube folder (it's only the main .exe file not the setup).

Let us know how it works.

I have tested it too and it's o.k. now.

But one thing has changed from yesterday: the audio-bitrate has dropped down dramaticly. In the same video yesterday it was 254 kBit/s and today it's only 125 kBit/s. 125 is the rate in all videos I downloaded.

Chris, thanks for the fast help !

We have released version 5.80 which has the YouTube sound issue fixed.
http://www.videoyoutubedownloader.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

@passat1943, YouTube removed the 256 kbps audio file and at the moment they only have 128 kbps available, 192 kbps could be available on some videos.
The software will use the best audio available for each video.

Happened to me as well. Don't know if this is related to my recent upgrade to Windows 8.1 or has other reasons.
First, reinstalling Chris P.C. videodownloader indeed fixed the sound problem!!!

However I observed that ChrisP.C. VideoDownloader is not selecting HD MP4 H.264 as usual (whenever available), but MP4 DASH!
The file size of those DASH formats are typically 20% smaller than comparable H.264 'high quality' file versions, which I can get with other video downloaders.
Why is the HD MP4 H.264 not selected when it's obviously available?
