If you want to convert the videos, or otherwise use features of youtube-dl that require ffmpeg,
that also has to be in the same folder (or path) as Grabber.**

You can get those programs here:
* Youtube-dl: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
* ffmpeg: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
Short installation guide:

**USE THE 4.0.2 static ffmpeg version!** Extract the 3 executables from the bin folder to the Grabber folder or PATH
* Download Grabber.exe and place in a folder.
* Download youtube-dl.exe and *either* place it in the same folder as above, or in PATH, if you know how.
* If you want to convert to audio, you need to also put ffmpeg.exe and the other included executables that follow into the same folder as Grabber.exe or in PATH.
* If nothing happens when you try to start a download, youtube-dl likely fails because you **need** this installed:

Youtube-dl download:
https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

FFmpeg download (**STATIC build verioin**, for example 4..4 Windows 64/32, static) :
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

Open the ffmpeg zip, copy 3 executables in the **bin** folder to the locations mentioned above.

**USE THE 4.X.X static ffmpeg version!** Extract the 3 executables from the bin folder to the Grabber folder or PATH
