Some VPN companies claim to provide service from these countries, but sometimes it's a lie.

Check out this VTT to SRT tool. You can use it for free on the onlinetoolnest.com website.

Set the VPN to Somalia, Serbia or Turkey respectivly.

If you give me link I can try the later two.

Why is people downvoting?

I was just answering your question and don't care.

But I would probably go with mullvad these days. People can be petty.

I've tried with NordVPN myself without any success

And I've just found post on Reddit that says "videos that are only available in those countries aren't downloadable because there aren't any ip's that youtube recognize as being from those countries"

Have you tried invidious or piped?

Piped says the same as YouTube: "This video contains content from NBCUniversal_International, who has blocked it on copyright grounds"

There are like 20 invidious instances, should I check them all?

[-] gim@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

No. Sounds like that video has been taken down. You can check it on archive.org

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I had already checked on archive.org, but I checked again. Only 3 capures that don't work. It's a video uploaded 16 years ago that has been blocked for a while already...

On YouTube, the video page loads and on the player it says "Video unavailable This video contains content from NBCUniversal_International, who has blocked it on copyright grounds"

https://seostudio.tools/youtube-region-restriction-checker indicates that the video is only available in the countries mentioned on the post's title
