My local public broadcast station (WOSU) created a bunch of neat historic videos about the neighborhoods in my city, Columbus Ohio. They still have many of them available for public viewing at http://columbusneighborhoods.org/videos/ I watched one or two of these a couple years ago and recently thought about them again & started going through them. Just this week, they made about half of them private (if you watch any of the ones still available, you will see that they are on Youtube under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?WOSUColumbus ) These were all publicly available just a week ago. Actually, I have a customer that is 102 years old you can see at the 31 minute mark in the Tri-Village video - if you can watch it. Are these cached or saved somewhere? I would like to download them all & save them if possible.

You can check and see if the video is saved on the Internet Archive, but they don't generally grab the actual video data (since there's so much of it). You might also try asking the station if they can put the video back up; it may have just gotten a frivolous copyright claim or something. To save the videos yourself you can use youtube-dl to download Youtube videos, playlists and users/channels (as well as content from tons of other sites). I suggest using the following command-line options with youtube-dl code:Edit: if you don't want it giving you .webm and .mkv files try -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/bestvideo+bestaudio/best" which should prioritize MP4 over every other format (note: I haven't tested this).
