A .webloc (macOS website location) file is just a pointer to a URL, i.e. for (usually) a (web)browser to open a certain webpage. It is not a video file, but may point to a video file on some site. E.g. one of: —
https://www.somesite.com/blah/blah/
https://www.somesite.com/blah/blah/my-fancy-video.html
https://www.somesite.com/blah/videos/foo.mp4
https://www.somesite.com/blah/videos/foo.webm
https://www.somesite.com/blah/videos/foo.mov
https://www.somesite.com/blah/videos/foo.mkv
What happens when you double-click this .webloc file? Does it open a video directly with nothing else, or does it open a webpage with that video (also other things on that page)? A big difference! What does the URL look like? Does it end with a filename (e.g. foo.mp4)?
If the URL is pointing directly to a video file, then you can often download it by copying the clean url (from the location field), open the Downloads window or pop-up for your browser, and paster the URL there. Some sites may obfuscate that video location though, to stop users from copying (downloading) that easily.
I want to download my videos to my YouTube Channel.
Which is it? Download FROM your YouTube Channel, or upload TO your YouTube channel?
