I want to download a couple of videos from creators I like, to keep them in case they are ever lost later (whether due to censorship or drama, etc). What is the best method to use for getting files from youtube? bonus points especially if they result in file types that I can burn to a dvd.

No. With Unix-style tools, bare terminal is always more powerful than any GUI. It's just that a lot of people don't want to invest their time into reading manuals and actually understanding how it all works.
