How to download videos from the Internet correctly?

Question

Python

from requests import get
print('Скачиваю видео..')
video_data = get(one_file).content
print(video_data)
if os._exists(os.path.abspath(f'Foto/{num}.mp4')) == False:
    with open(f'Foto/{num}.mp4', 'wb') as handler:
         handler.write(video_data)

The same code downloads the image correctly.

I don't understand what's wrong. The video does not play, the error is "The file cannot be played. The format of this file may not be supported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file is damaged.". Downloading from YouTube, which supports the mp4 format.. Please help.

Answer 1

For downloading from youtube, there is youtube-dl, you can call it through subprocess and use it as a library.
Usage examples are easy to google.
