First, check out whether your downloaded videos are playable on your other media players or not. If yes, update your VLC to the latest version. If no, you should know what formats your downloaded YouTube videos are. VLC does accept a wide range of video formats but not everything, for example, VLC won't play MKV format, some 4K Ultra videos. VLC may even have trouble playing YouTube videos in MP4 format because of the request of copyright of the owner. I'm afraid that you should need a process of transffering videos to VLC.
