I’ve been struggling for years to find a reliable way to download heavily DMR videos.

My use case usually has to do with clients loosing their originals or wanting to otherwise edit videos they no long have saved (for whatever human excuse applies) 🤣

Likewise I’ve paid for several courses over the years, only to have them be sunsetted and I have to scramble to retain ownership.

Usually I could find updated web based tools to get the job done, especially when its a one off thing.

Now I’m in a situation where there are over 1000 vids I need to catalog and backup for a client.

Enter Terminal (command line for my Windows friends)…

Dug deep into the archive from my days of BASIC and early HTML to accomplish this one.

But using Terminal with Homebrew and ultimately yt-dlp has led to success.

I even figured out (with a little help from Grok) how to put the files where I want them and name them how I want.

Lots of work in front of me but finding the solution was half the battle!
