I always use ffmpeg to do any encoding or conversions. It is a command
line app with a huge selection of configuration, but you can stick to
more simple command line parameters which gives fairly good results. I
believe I have seen GUI front-ends for ffmpeg too - one I think is even
implemented with Lazarus. A quick Google search...

I didn't know how to code/develop something like that. I do know VLC
supports that out of the box. You can play videos from a remote URL
(Media -> Open Network Stream) and tell it to save or re-encode it to a
local file at the same time.

For example, in VLC: Media -> Open Network Stream, then enter a URL like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4G-8RIvR3Q
