YouTube said: Unable to extract video data

Any help ?

This is likely due to YouTube DRM protections. The video is DRM encoded to protect copyrights. Try using yt-dlp instead: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

If you use yt-dlp, make sure you get the ffmpeg .exes as well. Place the ffmpeg .exes in the same folder as the yt-dlp.exe file. yt-dlp should be able to decode and download YouTube videos.

Regards.
