I hope it's now clear to you  ...

Yes, I think so. 

_video.py.diff.zip

I use the `git diff` command to make diff files.

I presume you have git for Windows installed?

The last version to support Windows Vista and Server 2008 was v2.37.1

... Not quite  ; I do have a quite old by now (ca. 2016) "portable" installation of a native Windows 32-bit compiler called "media-autobuild_suite" lying around on an external HDD somewhere (that compiler was used until ca. 2018 to compile non-free custom FFmpeg builds), which comes with many MSYS2 utilities, including diff; then I do have a portable installation of GitPortable, with the portable package frozen at v2.11.1-devtest.1 ; that was the last that had a dedicated portable launcher for the CLI version, all versions after that have only one launcher, for the GUI version; I never bothered to update Git itself inside that past v2.22.0-32-bit  ...

Thanks for that  ; has this been properly documented somewhere, or was it a "trial-and-error" discovery?  Last info I had about ceasing NT 6.0 support was this: 

https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.36.0.windows.1

Quote

Git for Windows will also stop supporting Windows Vista soon after Git for Windows 2.36.0 is released.

Actually, the software I used to create the patch file I uploaded here is a much older but very simple app, part of DiffUtils for Windows ; the cmd I used was: 

diff -u -b "_video.py.a" "_video.py.b" > "_video.py.patch"

Updated yt-dlp_x86 for Vista: link.

... So, this one has been compiled with @vladimir-andreevich's CPython-3.11.9-win32, Vista-compatible, implementation; very nice ...

Tip1: v3.11.9 has been compiled with the OpenSSL-3.0.13 dependency (files libcrypto-3.dll+libssl-3.dll); if one downloads python-3.12.10-embed-win32.zip , files libcrypto-3.dll+libssl-3.dll are of version 3.0.16; these are interchangeable with the v3.0.13 files, so one can have  CPython-3.11.9 with the updated OpenSSL-3.0.16 dependency  ...

Tip2: If one copies files _ssl.pyd+libcrypto-3.dll+libssl-3.dll from inside cmalex's py3.11.4 (for XP) distribution and overwrites existing files (of same name) inside Vladimir's 3.11.9 distribution, one can have  CPython-3.11.9 with the updated OpenSSL-3.5.2 dependency  ...
