Implement "yt-dlp-mp4decrypt" as a download engine as powerful alternative to the classic traditonal "yt-dlp-ffmpeg/lux/you-get" please!

Hello!

I discovered that mp4decrypt is a very powerful and reliable sensational alternative to ffmpeg, which can be useful in many cases and solve some technical problems and limitations:

mp4decrypt ffmpeg alternative:

https://www.bento4.com/documentation/mp4decrypt/ https://www.bento4.com/downloads/ https://github.com/axiomatic-systems/Bento4/tree/master/Source/C%2B%2B/Apps/Mp4Decrypt

So we hope please that our great generous hero Mr. @subhra74 will invent a new tool and integrate it natively in XDM and this new tool will be called for example: "yt-dlp-mp4decrypt" and will use yt-dlp and mp4decrypt together !

just like this open source tools that combines yt-dlp and mp4decrypt :

MP4Decrypt plugin for yt-dlp https://github.com/pratikpatel8982/yt-dlp-mp4decrypt https://github.com/pratikpatel8982/yt-dlp-hianime

and :

--use-mp4decrypt

https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE/issues/233 https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE/issues/507 https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE/pull/508 https://github.com/nilaoda/N_m3u8DL-RE/pull/504

a developer looked at the code of these 2 open-source download engines and told me their code seems similar to yt-dlp....and these 2 download engine can also download from youtube and many generic sites and maybe it will be a good idea to integrate also "mp4decrypt" to these 2 download engines too please! :

https://github.com/soimort/you-get https://github.com/iawia002/lux

I think this will make XDM even more powerful and adaptable to our specific needs with certain situations and sites. Thank you a lot :)

I think he is no longer interested in project. So many bugs, no new update, no new beta since ages.
