YouTube转MP4 —— 高清无损视频转换
粘贴 YouTube 链接，直接得到高清 mp4 文件 —— 也支持一键转 mp3 音频，全程本地处理无大小限制。
Why download YouTube (油管) videos with ViralMint?
常见的"YouTube转MP4"在线站点实际是在服务器上重新压缩视频，输出画质普遍被压到 720P，还伴随广告弹窗与文件大小限制。ViralMint 的做法不同：本地用 yt-dlp 直接取回 YouTube 的原始视频流与音频流，无损合并 (remux) 成标准 mp4 —— 1080P 保持 1080P，4K 保持 4K，没有二次编码损失。需要音频时选择 mp3 输出即可，适合保存播客与音乐类内容。转换完成后还能一键生成中英双语字幕，做学习笔记或内容研究都方便。

Frequently Asked Questions
YouTube转MP4 会损失画质吗？
不会。ViralMint 不做重新编码，而是把 YouTube 的原始视频流和音频流无损合并成 mp4 容器，画质与源视频完全一致 —— 这也是它能保住 4K 的原因，而在线转换站通常只能给到 720P。
能只转 MP3 音频吗？
可以。选择 mp3 输出即可只提取音频轨，适合播客、讲座与音乐类内容，没有时长与文件大小限制。
和在线转换网站比有什么区别？
三点：本地处理没有服务器排队和限流；无损合并不压画质；没有广告弹窗和捆绑跳转。代价是需要下载一个免费桌面应用 —— 换来的是稳定与画质。

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQEquivalent yt-dlp command
If you already use yt-dlp, the desktop app's YouTube (油管) download is equivalent to running:
yt-dlp -f "bv*+ba/b" --merge-output-format mp4 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"ViralMint also auto-runs Whisper transcription, downloads the thumbnail, and extracts AI hook / structure / tone insights — steps that take a separate command chain in raw yt-dlp.
