2. Search for wanted video container and resolution using: int SearchVideo (std::vector <Video>, Container, Resolution, Video& DownloadLink);

   or using just the resolution and selecting either highest or lowest resolution using: int YouTubeDownload::SearchVideo (std::vector <Video>, Container, bool HighestResolutionFirst, Video& DownloadLink);

3. Open a file stream in "binary", "out" and "trunc". std::fstream file("myvideo.mp4", std::ios::out | std::ios::binary | std::ios::trunc);

4. Download video to file stream using:
   int DownloadToHDD (std::string link, std::fstream& file, bool displayProgress);

5. Close the file stream. file.close();
