Установив крайнюю версию (7.3.5) обнаружил крайне неприятную штуку: при попытке скачать видео, предлагает установить какую-то прогу, а там - платная рега. Вот так.. Без доната не скачать. Буду пробовать более ранние версии.

7.1.2 - крайняя версия, качающая без установки какой-либо другой проги.

Complicated user interface, but once you got it figured out, it works well for the most part. My biggest gripe is their 1080p requires a software installation outside of Firefox. Okay fine. After the time-consuming task of downloading and finalizing the download, they stick a giant QR code block on the video and mention how you need to pay to download videos without the giant obstruction. Would have been nice to know all this crap in the description or some kind of notification before downloading the 1080p video.

Cant get version 7.3.4 to work. It always asks to install a new companion (1.2.4?), which I did as I am using Xubuntu, but the problem stays

ne fonctionne pas avec tf1 video

Seit Einführung der Begleitanwendung spielt mein Computer verrückt wenn er diese anwendet. Die Festplatte arbeitet ununterbrochen und meistens stürzt am Ende der Computer ab oder alles ist blockiert. Ich frage mich auch ob diese Compagnon-app nicht auch den Computer mit der zeit zerstört, durch Überbeanspruchung. Früher funktionierte dieses Add-on perfekt. Heute stufe ich es sogar als gefährlich für die Hardware ein. Nun kann man alle Downloads vergessen die nicht über den Browser heruntergeladen werden können.
Sehr schade :-(

To get this add-on to work properly you have to install a companion application called 'VdhCoApp', but for some reason the developers fail to give you this information? When Video DownloadHelper updates, it will redirect you to another tab which says: "Congratulations, you just upgraded to Video DownloadHelper ... ". Watching something interesting or maybe you're in the middle of something important, well Video DownloadHelper doesn't care - you WILL be redirected! Honestly, who the hell thought that was a good idea, it's like having a virus on your machine! I tried the convert option, it took so long to do the conversion I thought it hadn't worked and there's absolutely no feedback whatsoever while processing the file. Overall, the UI is not very intuitive. Also, if you chose an ADP variant and the conversion feature has not been registered the resulting video contains a QR barcode watermark in the top left corner. There are better options out there which don't need a companion application, give you conversion options up front, and don't insert a watermark in your videos. Uninstalled.

no puedo descargar los videos, al principio era todo bien, despues los videos solo de youtube no puedo descargarlos. Y me sale actualizar la aplicacion pero no el boton para actualizar al abrir la pestaña

VDH was my favorite downloader for years.... but.... it has gotten SLOWER downloading videos. It used to DL 2 videos at a time.... now it only does 1 most of the time. One video I am trying to DL right now is only 5 minutes long but the DL time is estimated at over 2 hours when it used to take ten minutes or less.

Took forever to get it to work. Still not sure.

How does one get started downloading from YouTube?

What's the next step to actually doing it? GO WHERE?

since it needs to install another compainion exe file

pede atualização e quando baixo não completa sempre aparece mal sucedida

Uma porcaria, não sei como tem tantas avaliações positivas, devem ser BOTS ou ROBÔS programados para postarem comentarios grotescos ... a extensão nao reconhece vídeos do Youtube e quando reconhece pede pra instalar software adicional... Facebook é o mesmo que nada ... nem sei porque existe esse app ... pra mim é propaganda enganosa!

A crap, I do not know how it has so many positive reviews, should be BOTS or ROBOTS programmed to post grotesque comments ... the extension does not recognize YouTube videos and when it acknowledges asks to install additional software ... Facebook is the same as nothing .. I do not even know why there is this app ... for me it's misleading advertisement!

It use to be simple. Select the stream, click it and it downloaded. Now it goes through 3 different steps and takes a much longer time. Having read the developers notes, this is a problem with Firefox which is becoming increasingly problematic in it's own right. Maybe we should give up and move to Chrome.
