Really cool video downloader.
I just tested it on Youtube. It can embed "automatically generated subtitles" in English into the MP4 file, completely flawlessly. Then I can extract the subtitles myself with "Subtitle Edit" and use "DeepL" for the translation into Danish.
"Open Video Downloader" is my new favorite tool.
Many thanks to the developers, and keep up the good work.
