<![CDATA[Dropzone Forums — YouTube Downloader not able to play downloaded videos with QuickTime]]> 2024-08-29T06:34:59Z PunBB https://forums.aptonic.com/topic/601/youtube-downloader-not-able-to-play-downloaded-videos-with-quicktime/ <![CDATA[YouTube Downloader not able to play downloaded videos with QuickTime]]> I just thought I would mention that as YouTube has made it harder to download videos that are encoded with H.264, I have made changes to the YouTube downloader action that allows you to auto-convert downloaded videos from the VP9 codec to H.264 which makes them compatible with QuickTime.

To enable auto-conversion: Right-click on the YouTube downloader action in your Dropzone grid, choose Edit from the menu and then tick the ‘Convert to H.264 codec after download’ checkbox as shown below:

You can also tick this option when first adding the action. You must be on the non-Mac App Store version of Dropzone 4.80.18 or later and have the latest version of the YouTube Downloader action installed from the below link:
