I have online courses from some platforms that I could share, what is the best way to download them?

Searching the web seen the extension https://cococut.net/ are there also alternatives for Firefox or better alternatives?

After I download the videos is it recommended to convert them to some other format for example with ffmpeg?

I am looking for some introductory documentation to WEB-DL or similar

Thank you, I knew yt-dlp and this is an interesting app. However, I was referring more to courses on platforms like Udemy where you need an account

In theory, yt-dlp can pull cookies from your browser to get content behind a login.

Yt-dlp can use user authentication to pull videos as well. The flags are -u (username) and -p (password) . Example: yt-dlp -u username -p password url-goes-here . Hope this helps. The more we can rely on programs that we run on our own machines, the better. Even better if it's free software.
