And in this phase, the downloader will analyze the information of the videos including the thumbnails, format, resolution and file size. The second phase immediately continues after the first phase.

After finishing the first phase you will see “Ok” button and you can click it to enter the downloading interface. You can still download the analyzed videos. Besides, you can click “Cancel” to stop analyzing the videos. According to our numerous tests, it takes one minute to analyze 100 or so videos meanwhile 3-4 minutes for 1000 videos with a stable network. The time spent in this phase depends on the number of videos in the channel/list as well as the network condition. The downloader proceeds in two phases when analyzing URLs of the channel or playlist.ĭuring the first phase, it generally analyzes the title and the length of time of each video.
