by magiclantern, 3 years agoBeware most 5 star reviews for this extension appear to be fake. This extension (at least on macOS) requires additional software to be installed to work, and even if you've already done that it works poorly.
There is probably a better downloader out there - not sure which though.
It did download something from Vimeo which is what I needed, but after running for over an hour, still had not generated a video file in my chosen output directory. Source video was less than 1 hour long.
I discovered that it downloaded a video mp4 and an audio mp4 and was attempting to combine them. After running for almost an hour, it had produced a 12 minute video with a very large QR code taking up about 1/8 of the upper right of the screen.
I killed that process and just ran `ffmpeg -i tmpvideofile.mp4 -i tmpaudiofile.mp4 -c copy mycombinedfile.mp4` and it completed in about 10 seconds.
So in short, this *will* download something for you, but you're better off doing the combining on your own.

- Rated 5 out of 5by MaschineFaustus, a day agoIch bin mit dem Video DownloadHelper vollstens zufrieden und hatte bisher noch nie Probleme damit. Danke dafür, dass es soetwas gibt. Schnell und sehr zuverlässig.
- Realmente muy buena esta extensión, sin propagandas innecesarias o invasivas, ni ventanas emergentes ni nada de eso. A veces una dificultad es que la misma página tiene múltiples videos que aparecen con la misma imagen inicial, y es difícil saber cuál es la que realmente estás buscando, pero he descubierto que bajándolas todas, luego en la carpeta donde las hayas descargado es fácil revisarlas y eliminar las que no correspondan. Muy agradecido.

- Best video downloader extension out there. Helps me a lot and I'll support it (by buying a license) in exchange.
 I had an issue in the past though: I bought a license for Google Chrome which stopped being supported by the browser so I lost my license and the license didn't work/transfer to Mozilla Firefox. I think that's must be something to consider. Regards
