Best ever. Makes occasional audio music mixes so much easier and faster to make if you need just an mp4 of a song. So quick and intuitive. Thank you very much.

I've been using it now for several months, and it was the solution to a lot of the problems I was having with one stubborn media website that I needed a lot of video files from. For years, I already had been playing tug-of-war with web developers when it comes to having to root through their source code so that you can find where the link where the video is actually coming from, and go from there. I was doing this manually! Recently, there are some nuts that I just couldn't crack in a practical amount of time, and any attempt to "do it manually" would have been tedious and futile. This was especially true with the newer method of never directly showing the source video file to the client side at all, but rather the first of dozens of little FRAGMENTS of the video file.

Knowing that, I was particularly impressed that the extension can handle .*m3u8 files and most streams (live and otherwise) pretty reliably! You can even have the option to change what format the video file is turned into, and whether or not to downscale the resolution to save resources.

There is a danger when it comes to using the extension with streams, however -- if you close out the browser session in the middle of recording a live stream, before FIRST manually pressing the "STOP" button on the download in the extension's manager pane, then you lose all that you recorded before. The data seems to be corrupted, and can't be used (even by trying to open it directly through the app, or changing the file extension name to the video type that you were expecting to create. If the stream recording is interrupted through the browser closing rather than closing cleanly, it's unfortunately gone. :-(

To prevent this, the best bet is to make sure the browser dose not close until at least either the stream ends, or the download was manually stopped by pressing the "STOP" button in the extension manager on the row of the download. The extension needs that final step of wrapping the data up and encoding everything into the final product, so manually stop and come back to the download later if you're not expecting the interruption and still have more to go.

Barring that, l give this a five star rating. Nothing is 100% perfect, but in my experience, this thing will work to solve any stream or video at least 8 times out of 10. My absolute favorite feature shows that the devs understand that, so they help provide the user with what they need to try another method -- which is the video source.

The feature to be able to just click and suddenly have the "true" video source URL in your clipboard, is a game-changer for me. No more combing through the source code in dev tools to find it manually anymore! It even allows you to set options to quickly reformat the link into command line commands for other related media-scraping apps. Even if they can't do it themselves, they still give you the tools to go in deeper yourself and crack even the most seemingly impenetrable defenses of any web video player.

Very reliable, this and jdownloader covers most need.

El mejor programa para descargar videos de casi cualquier plataforma y, creedme, he probado muchos.

WHEN Downloadhelper works it's great! But it is SO inconsistent as to WHEN it will actually work it become VERY frustrating. PLEASE make it work ALL the time!

Muito bom mesmo, só não funciona em alguns sites, mas consegue fazer muuuuita coisa

working in many sites, the best of such program

J'utilise Video DownloadHelper depuis de nombreuses années et j'en suis toujours satisfait.

Excelente complemento para descargar vídeos de diferentes páginas. Es la única que se mantiene sólida desde el principio. Merece mucho la pena la versión de pago.

Facile da usare - Simple to use

This is the best way to preserve vital information!

A top extension

Works almost on all sites with video content including the funny ones 😁🍻 You can choose only one folder for all your videos or select using the 3 dots right form the download button and hit "save as".
No watermarks if you use the standard format which is .mp4. The quality of .mp4 format is perfect.
If you want some special formats like .avi, etc. you have to pay as far as I know.
