I'm looking for a free GUI that can download a YouTube channel in a particular language (i.e. Japanese) with it's associated English subtitles preferably in SRT format.

I used 4K Video Downloader which worked fine for the "old" YT even though it was limited and I had to uninstall and reinstall a few times I got exactly what I wanted.

Then Google in all their stupidity decided to put all streams for a single video together so I can't get what I want from 4K without downloading the video and then splitting the stream some way and downloading the Japanese audio to go with it.

Can anyone give me a simpler alternative to what I'm trying to do? I would appreciate any constructive input. Thanks!

I use EDIT: jdownloader2 for YouTube video/audio. It may be more feature packed, but it’s easy enough once you’re comfortable with the GUI.

My antivirus flagged it as a virus (Potential Unwanted Program). Thank goodness it caught and quarantined it.

Sorry about that, it's some issue with adware in that version of the installer (that doesn't have to be installed). Their forum has a post about this problem. I edited my reply to direct to the "adware free" installer: https://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2

Phew, that worked better. No virus that time. I'll give it a try and see if it'll work for me. I was getting a bit nervous there for a minute. Thank you for updating your information!

It's not a virus, it's a Potentially Unwanted Programs bundled and it's common Spyware, Adware, and miscellaneous paid to serve programs. Since windows and macs bundle their own types of potentially unwanted programs, I like to consider this as just larger corporations being hypocritical. Unfortunately, the majority of PUP that get flagged are typically worse than what these larger corporations bundle in their installers or products.
