Why is my video downloading as a webm file

If you already have the latest version of IDM and it still does not show all video quality download options, you need to select a desired option in a web player and IDM will add the download option for it on its video download panel. Also we have confirmed that this problem can be caused by CCleaner and similar applications that clean registry keys and temporary internet files. In CCleaner to avoid this problem you needto select only "Temporary Internet Files and Cookies" option in "Windows" tab and in the "Applications" tab under your browser to select "Internet Cache and Cookies - then analyze and remove" option.

It looks as if the software fails to complete the file when the video is downloaded. It leaves with a webm file instead of mp4. It worked fine a year or two ago I used to get audio from p file but then it was a different youtube channel. So you are using software that is automatically downloading the video and audio stream and merging it, but for some reason it is not doing this for the case of the p stream.

This is entirely up to what ever software package you are using. It could need an update. It could be a piece of crap. Last edited: Oct 11, The software does have option for me to download mp3 file from the youtube video.

So I downloaded the mp3 and p. I can play the video with sound now. Oh and JeffMD, thank for your help on this. You gave me idea on what to do to try to revolve this matter and it worked.
