And you should NEVER choose the format you download the video in. You should get the FORMAT in the same format the original site provides, or at the very least only use gpac/Mp4Box or ffmpeg to join the sperate and audio video data from the live stream (which is required for vimeo live feeds without paying the oto pedos $5 bucks to download the video and red flagging yourself), or it's not going to be useful for evidentiary purporses or even in the same quality as the original site.

With youtube-dl.org - youttube-dl -F <URL> will show you a list of formats google is hosting of the video. Choose one of those. And I'm telling you youtube doesn't host avi files :)

So for that technical reason I say don't check out your said software. No hard feels. Just trying to keep the voat userbase thinking smart and acting safe with IT opsec without any irrational fears.
