2.0: Merge pull request #8 from murrty/rewrite
Version 2 comes with a complete code redo, because i was bored and youtube-dl-gui was pretty laughable up to now.
My main goal is to make this as accessible to as many people as possible; this means that some power-user options aren't available... exception for custom arguments, which allow you to completely set what you want up.
+added better verification
+updated error logging process
+updated settings
+converter fully works
+static youtube-dl & ffmpeg
+better converter process
+more options for converting files, check the settings.
~audio still has a single setting, sorry.
+Summaries in code (for anyone interested)
+ A compatible version of youtube-dl-gui for people who are on, at least, .NET Framework 3.5. This should ensure that it works pre-Windows 7.
Debug changes:
Fixed the custom extensions being saved and removed the custom extension removal confirmation (frmSettings.cs)
Removed WaitForExit for downloading & converting. Makes bulk downloads/conversions easier. (Download.cs Convert.cs)
Changed "* completed" to "* started" for downloading and converting. (frmMain.cs)
Added a check for v.redd.it to fix any corrupted files that may get downloaded (Download.cs frmSettings.cs Downloads.settings)
Added Force-HTTPS for downloading. (Download.cs)
Hid the debug dates & moved the last debug date to the about form (frmMain.cs frmAbout.cs).

All features
This is simply a GUI for said application for windows users, without the inconsistent GUI bloat, and weight, and possible viruses. youtube-dl is not included because it's not my program, instead this application automatically downloads it. I don't fully understand how youtube-dl works, so this is only including 3 donload options, Video, Audio (MP3), and Custom, as well as changable audio quality ranging from 8-320k. Custom lets you input your own youtube-dl arguments. Settings is not quite done yet, but will be included once I get around to finding a way to save them. I, then, need to find a way to move the newely created file to a customizable path set by the user, but for now it saves the files in the youtube-dl folder.

youtube-dl is very easy to setup and use on its own (without a gui), and you'll likely only need a few commands to master the command-line tool to get all the audio and video you need in the format and quality you desire. If you really need a gui then this tool should suffice, if you have .NET 4.5 installed that is - this requirement is why I gave it a low score.
On Windows, you only need youtube-dl.exe and the 2 ffmpeg tools - ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe (both found in the ffmpeg zip). With the addition of a shell frontend (like ConsoleZ) you can avoid adding files to PATH and simply have the frontend open to the \youtube-dl folder - helps with avoiding long command-lines. Easy Peezy, either way, youtube-dl and youtube-dl-gui are great tools to get online audio & video to the desktop for offline enjoyment.
