The most streamline way that doesn't require a third party program/extension to download is to put "ss" at the start of the URL, which redirects it to SaveFrom.Net. From there you can select "Download video in browser" and download it directly as an MP4.

e.g. Say you wanted to download the video from "https://www.y outube.com/watch?v=-JW2z_kP-v4". You'd change the URL to "https://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=-JW2z_kP-v4" and it will redirect you to SaveFrom with the correct video URL.

It does encourage you too download a third party utility underneath it, but don't bother. The output you get from doing it this way is perfectly fine.

I'm not sure how this effects YouTube's T&C, but just to state the obvious, don't use it to download or distribute copyrighted materials.
