I am looking to restore two channels that were deleted by me which I heavily regret looking back on it

I have come to a sad realization that any content that is not archived or has no snapshots of any media (video, picture, or audio) is gone forever. However terrible a loss this is, I managed to restore videos from my second channel which had 7 videos 5 of which are recoverable.

So I was thinking is there any other I can at least try to restore the two that only have metadata I tried looking into wayback machine archives and ironically they were saved as webpages...... not as video snapshots......

So is there any way I can try converting them into video format

and what of the channel that was deleted in 2016 with only webpage saved on the wayback

and also for anyone looking one main advice from this post

DON'T DELETE YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL WITHOUT ARCHIVING YOUR VIDEOS ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A SMALL YOUTUBE CHANNEL WITH LESS THAN 1K SUBS
