I can not download from YouTube and get a message "Analyzing failed. Cannot determine video format to be downloaded" or downloader keeps looping "Analyzing successfully, start downloading videos", as a result, "Download video file failed". Can you help?

1) Keep the download engine or program updating

Sometimes, you cannot download YouTube videos, music, or movies because the download engine of the YouTube downloader is out of date. For example, Any Video Converter series have always been keeping updating, and you need to install the latest version of AVC or update your download engine from prompts.

2) Keep the video drive updated or flash player installed correctly

If the YouTube downloader and the download engine are updated to the latest, please check that your video drive is updated, if not, please update it according to your Windows OS. In other words, if you have a 34-bit flash player installed, it will block videos that run on 64 bit. You can install a 64-bit flash player to fix this error.

3) Keep the Google Internet Authority updated

If you use the Google browser to access the YouTube website, you can follow the instructions to see whether your Google Internet Authority G2 from GeoTrustCA had expired. If it was expired, you can delete it and get a valid certificate from https://pki.google.com/. Then delete the old ones and try to download the YouTube videos, music with Any Video Converter, or other YouTube downloaders.

Here are the steps to manually remove an expired Google cert:

Run certmgr.msc -> menu -> action -> find certificates.

Choose "Look in Fields: issued to" and type "google" at the "contains" field and click "find now".

Mark all the expired certs (useful to sort by exp. date), right click and choose "delete".

Get a valid certificate from https://pki.google.com/.

Run Any Video Converter or other YouTube downloader to download videos.

4. How to fix the "Insert failed" problem after adding YouTube videos to downloaders?

If you receive this error message "Cannot get media information from video file…pv.mp4, insert failed" while trying to add a YouTube video into the downloader, it’s probably that the video file name contains a non-English character. To avoid downloading YouTube videos which have non-English file name not being recognized by the downloader, please go to Edit -> Options -> Online Video, and then uncheck "Use HTML Title as output file name" option before downloading.

If the solutions above still fail to fix the issue, you can contact the developer for help. For Any Video Converter "failed to download YouTube video files" error, you can send a message to support [at] any-video-converter.com (replace [at] as @ before sending message) for help.
