For Vice veterans worried about being able to keep access to their stories or get clips, I've got what I think may be a nearly complete index and links to some Internet Archive/Wayback Machine archives of the stories. Please share with anyone who can use it. rebrand.ly/vice-archives

I also worry about the video. Archiving that I would imagine would be harder. Unless they keep the YouTube account up, I guess.

yt-dlp makes grabbing youtube and other platforms' videos trivial

I wound up buying a "4k Video Downloader" some years back because open stuff source was all broken at the time. Glad there's a solution now!

yeah i've downloaded plenty of video game music using those crappy free websites lol. i think i started using youtube-dl (which yt-dlp forked from) about five or six years ago, but since it's command line only it was kinda obscure despite being such a powerful tool

If you do much with video and are on Windows, you might take a look at WinFF, which is a handy frontend to ffmpeg that helps, say, change file formats, shrink video file sizes down, or extract only the audio.
