    How to download CSPAN clips to MP4 in Windows with YouTube-DL


Install Youtube-DL so it's in your path/command line (https://github.com/ytdl-org)


Get Two URLs ready to copy/paste. Both the URL of the CSPAN page w/the video and the M3U8 URL of the video. Get the M3U8 by viewing the page source and looking for ".m3u8".
Examples
(page): https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4990755/user-clip-johnson-covid-response
(m3u8): https://m3u8-1.c-spanvideo.org/clip/clip.4954874.m3u8


Run the line below in a Windows command prompt. Make sure to first replace the #M3U8_URL# and #CSPAN_VIDEO_PAGE_URL# with your URLs from step #2
