Hope that doesn’t lead to a crackdown. There’s tons of old and/or obscure movies available on YouTube that you can’t find anywhere else.

Best start using ytdl to download, because of course Google will bow to the movie industry

what is yddl?

YouTube(compatible with other video sites as well) downloader. It’s a command line tool but highly versatile. Originally, youtube-dl used to be recommended but development nearly crawled to a halt on that.

I got a GUI version of ytdl when I bought SVP (converts movies, shows, anime from 23FPS to 60+FPS) and I LOVE IT SO MUCH

That’s a disaster waiting to happen. When you encounter one, you should reupload it to archive.org.

I am pleasantly surprised at the episodes of old TV shows I’ve found there. I grew up with some very obscure direct to VHS movies/shows and was surprised to find many available there!

Definitely need to be uploaded there. We can’t trust Google to keep those up and available.

Sony (Columbia / Screen Gems) has several legit YouTube channels and uploads old TV episodes and movies. Some of their channels are Throwback TV, Classic Rewind TV, Stream City and many others.
