I have found a way to use VLC to download YT videos again. It involved copy/pasting some code from a github site into a renamed text file, and putting that file in the VLC plug in folder.
Anyway, you can use VLC to save a YT video thus:
Open a network stream in VLC, paste in the YT url, and play it.
Once the video is playing in VLC, in the tool bar, open tools, find "codec information," and open that
Copy the entire line of text in the "location" box, and paste that into a new browser tab
Once the video starts playing in that browser tab, you can right click on the video and save it as the title of you choice.
If VLC won't play a YT video link in step 1, you need to fix VLC so that it will play a YT video. YT has altered how they play video, and VLC won't work without a fix.
