Review by C. Monk
Rated 2 out of 5
by C. Monk, 8 years agoThis review has two parts: The free version review, and the paid (Premium) version review.
The free version is pretty much junk. It takes hours to "convert" a video after downloading (a process they call "aggregation"), and the only reason the program does this is to add their advertising QR code in each and every frame. So, congratulations if you used this, you just spent $.05 in electricity, and a whole bunch of CPU time, adding a commercial to your video. What a useless piece of ****. At least it reliably detects and downloads HD and higher resolution videos (something which the other free converters can't even achieve).
The paid version ($28.50 USD, 18EURO as of this review) is a lifetime license, it works great, it's fast, and it downloads HD+ resolution videos reliably from YouTube. It will also convert on demand, and probably has some other features I haven't explored yet. It's sad that I had to pay money to get a good product, but the programmers gotta put food on the table. If it takes holding people hostage to pay for their software to do it, then that's the choice. Pay up or don't bother installing this add-on.

- For some time ive been using this, its just bad. Just get separate windows program not browser extension ( media downloader from github works better than that) If i remember correctly for most files you need to download program anyway and you dont know if your video will have paywall at some point by having huge QR code in it

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18957698, 3 days agoin the latest version (v.10.0.271.2) downloading from "www.ceskatelevize.cz" does not work, the addon reports "waiting video". But the older version (9.5.0.2) is functional

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19628713, 4 days agoPuts a giant watermark on the downloaded videos, uninstalled.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14504258, 4 days agoIs perfect to download a serie or any content and with the smart naming feature, the task of naming is very easear
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15930469, 4 days agoI can recommend this video only to those who download many videos in large batches and need a GUI, because ffmpeg downloads much faster, while having an ability to merge subtitles into a .mkv file among many other things.
- Rated 1 out of 5by --a, 4 days agoVersion 10 is completely broken. Had to revert to the old one. V10 cannot download any large videos, esp. with typical free streaming servers which often have network issues. The older versions can deal with that (not perfectly, but eventually it works). There are lots more new bugs. And I really don't need the UI to be redesigned all the time, esp. when that breaks the most important feature.
