While I don't watch movies on my computer, I do run into music videos
that I cannot watch or download because of my XP comp. I use the 3dyd
downloader to download them by entering in the videos URL. 3dyd
downloads the videos without a problem. I then watch them to see if I
want to keep them.

Thanks for the info.
I _believe_ youtube-dl (
http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/
) is still
XP-compatible. (Despite its name, it can be used on many sites other
than YouTube.) It's very frequently updated - I just checked, I had
2021.04.07, checked, and now have 2021.04.17 . (Yes, it's a
command-line prog.; however, you can put your garlic and crucifix away -
it's dead easy to use: most of the time, just giving it the URL suffices
[and that's pastable - alt-space E P].)
Or, if your hand happens to be on or near the mouse, you can paste with a
single right-click.
