Hello.

I was wondering if there was a way to download videos from YouTube that are Geoblocked in some countries or even worldwide?

Because There are some videos that I want to download, but they are either Geoblocked in my country (Some that I don't know which countries can view it so I can use a VPN to get it) or blocked worldwide (which even VPNs can't do.)

For example, I want to download these 2 videos:

(A version of Innocence of Muslims that is inaccessible, It is slightly different from the publicly viewable. The message says "This video is not available. Sorry about that.)

And


Which is Part 2 of an Episode of Tak & the Power of JuJu, which has 2 audio tracks put together, English and Hindi or Urdu. Source from Nickelodeon Pakistan's YouTube channel.

Part 1 for reference:

Message for part 2 of the episode says "This video contains content from Viacom, who has blocked it on copyright grounds."

Normally, since I live in Canada, most of the videos that are geoblocked by Viacom are usually accessible here and not in any other country, but that particular video is geoblocked in Canada too, so it would mean that the video is blocked worldwide.

The YouTube channel "nickpakistan" was found via a link from Nickelodeon Pakistan's website:

At the bottom of the page beside a link to their Facebook.

And I found the Tak videos via this:

I'm afraid if the video is not viewable, it won't be downloadable. Sorry.

very late, but can help further people in the same problem
I have tested a lot of websites to download YT videos but non of them worked as the video is unplayable only in our player
i suggest you to install KeepVid extension for chrome, it worked for me like a charm !!!

Then, this means that I'll have to download every single solitary video that I do plan to eventually download anyway (because I DO NOT trust YouTube to keep every video on YouTube 100% accessible nor any YouTuber to keep their YouTube videos 100% accessible to the public for as long as I live on this planet, even if it means to violate stupid, bullshit copyright laws in doing so!!!) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after the videos get uploaded to YouTube!!! I'm just emotionally DONE – D-O-N-E – with YouTube and/or copyright holders in emotionally burning me again in occurrence!!!!! [If this message gets deleted for whatever reason, it just shows on what kind of company in which Google and YouTube are there.]  😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡💢💢💢💢💢🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
