Have used this add on for a while and it used to work great. Today tried to use it for a video download using identical steps and after a very very very long time - the video was ready to download but a required payment feature has now been added. I get that some capabilities require payment -- but I DO NOT like finding out after wasting 1/2 hour. The software should warn of the new required payment before wasting user's time. I do actually pay for some capabilities -- but never after being tricked into it. I will no longer be using this software. Beware the required payment that now seems to be a requirement to actually get a copy of the video that you thought was being downloaded -- and it now takes a long long time.

It downloads video in great quality...but ads a huge QR code in the upper left corner of the downloaded video... so videos are unusable.

The software is great, and I would give 5 starts, but just because of the new QR code that is now added to all downloaded videos, I'm uninstalling this and giving only 1/5 review

Był to kiedyś super downloader, teraz już zbiera kasę a video jest skażone dużym znacznikiem oraz problemy z konwertowaniem audio plików. To już nie jest ten sam dobry downloader co kiedyś.
Trzeba wykupywać licencję co roku.

Directamente no funciona.
La misma extensión te aconseja instalar una aplicacion en windows para descargar los videos ya que reconocen que no pueden descargar videos con su propio plugin de Firefox. Por tanto no tiene sentido tenerla instalada

require additional software installed on pc

морда не треснет столько разрешений требовать?

Après l'installation du module, lorsque l'on veut se servir de l'application, il est demandé d'installer un programme supplémentaire Video DownloadHelper Companion App 1.3.0, sous forme d’exécutable.
C'est nouveau ce truc ! Le module seul ne suffit plus.
Ne pouvant donc m'en servir sans ce programme supplémentaire, j'ai désinstallé.

VDH used to be a free great downloader but nowaday you will discover a watermark on the video (that takes hours to be computed) to make you buy the paying version. So disappointiong

Говно ! Предлагает скачать какой-то дополнительный файл, который конвертирует МР4 в МР4 и ставит свой логотип в верхнем углу экрана и предлагает купить ПРО версию!

Не работает. Установил расширение только для того, чтобы скачать с яндекс видео. Можно скачать только рекламу и превью.

Dno i nieporozumienie...

"The second most downloaded Firefox add-on since 2007" Past glory at this point. Watch the one star reviews skyrocket with this latest monetization effort. Hadn't used it in a few days. Tried to download an old public domain video last night and saw this huge QR code superimposes on it. I believe this will prove to be shooting oneself in the foot. Looking for another downloader now....

Don't get me wrong. I don't expect people to work for nothing, they are entitled to compensation for their efforts. But forcing downloads with ADP and disabling "browser" downloads (that's what's happening for me), and charging for the converter (rather than support by donations) wasn't the right way to go about it.

They just REMOVED the "copy the address of the Link" function so it just loss all its Utility to me. That's Pathetic. I'm NOT Gonna Install anything on my computer from them !

Bis jetzt zufrieden, seit kurzen funktioniert er bei MAC OS nicht mehr grrrrrr.

When there's an option to download via browser, it MIGHT work. Sometimes. Most of the time the Download Helper won't even detect any media on the website.
And the companion app is totally useless. It's so slow and unreliable, it reminds me of good old days of 56k modems.

Forces an additoonal install that accesses info on your computer and then after download tells you that there is a license fee if you want a non-watermarked version of the video. Pure scam.

System: Desktop-PC, W 7, FF.
Der Video DownloadHelper ist nicht in der Lage, unter W 7 video streams zu erkennen. Da ist er nicht alleine, auch alle anderen versuchsweise installierten Downloader versagen.
Die Benutzeroberfläche könnte klarer sein. Beenden der Aufnahme ist umständlich.
Unter W 10 funktioniert es meist, aber nur ein einziger Record am Stück ist möglich. Nach Beendigung dieses Records kann der Clip nur abgespielt werden. Um weiter aufzunehmen, muß der Rechner neu gestartet werden.
Das ist also noch sehr unbefriedigend.

Einfache Video-Dateien (mp4 etc.) können die Browser selbst auf die Festplatte speichern, für gestreamte flash Videos benötigt man aber ein Tool.

不仅需要下载合作应用才能下载，并且在下完合作应用之后，仿佛能下载视频了，但软件会给影片加载一个巨大二维码水印，需要支付25美金，才能让软件不给影片加水印
一句话评价，我是傻逼
