Hi Heddy,

Pontes Media Downloader does give you the option to download the full unconverted video from Youtube. It also allows conversion to MP3 and other audio formats. I am totally blind myself and therefore I cannot make accurate analysis of just what quality of videos are downloaded. By default, it downloads the video in MP4 format. I think this may be a compressed form of the video, so if compressed video format is not good enough, maybe this won't work for you.

In any case, the download page for this app is:

I spent a lot of time searching Google for an accessible video downloader that works with nvda.

I came accros Ummy Video Downloader and it looks like a possibility but unfortunately it allows only 1 free download before you need to pay. The subscription price falls out of my monthly or once-off budget. The video I downloaded from Youtube was of a very high quality.

Any suggestions for a free app?

I don't use the updater so others can discuss it. Regarding add-ons, I don't know where you are looking. If you go to:
https://addons.nvda-project.org/index.en.html
that is the official NVDA add-ons page. That doesn't mean that no other add-ons are available elsewhere, it means that these have been checked by NVDA volunteers for safety and that they work properly.

You are on the stable add-ons page. You will see a link as you look down the page for add-ons under development. You may use them if you wish but they may have bugs, being sort of like betas.

Legacy add-ons, as I understand it, and there is a link to them as well, are those that can be used with older versions of NVDA. I'm not sure, but I don't think they will work with current versions.

If you go to the page I gave a link to earlier and move down the page using h for heading, you will move from add-on link to add-on link.
