- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18352699, a day agoLorsque plus qualités sont disponibles, ne permet d'enregistrer que la vidéo dans la résolution la plus haute, ce qui n'est pas toujours un avantage.
- Rated 2 out of 5by NanDee, 3 days agoThe free version seems easier. I purchased the license hoping to download videos directly to MP3 but those options are not apparent. The "help" section of VDH shows screenshots that indicate selecting the output file format as MP3. In reality, what shows up (in my updated Firefox browser) looks nothing like the screenshot in their help section.
The only download format options I get are MP4s and MKV. In addition, if I start the download and realize I want it saved into a different folder, I have to cancel the download, go into settings and change the destination folder. But then the VDH will not allow me to download again from that same browser. I have to close the video, open a new tab and then cue it up again. BIG TIME WASTER.
If you want to download directly to MP3 you have to right click the 3 dots to the right of the "Download" and then "Download Audio" will appear as an option. This was very difficult to figure out.
In other words, the paid version is cumbersome and time consuming.
I did download their open source add but you need to close and re-open your browser, and even then the options to download and convert are not user friendly.
Hope this helps others. - Rated 2 out of 5by shadowrider2, 4 days agoWorks but it's completely unusable with the watermark. It's basically an adware now
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15108688, 10 days agoDownloading is disabled or unstable at many sites.
- Rated 2 out of 5by MaximCrudes, 10 days agorating 2/5 because on average only 2/5 videos manage to download without failing.
the new UI is also terrible, i genuinely have no idea why the legacy UI shows time remaining and the new one doesnt
oh and if you decide to use the companion app i hope you want to keep it because it doesnt show up in apps so its a pain to uninstall - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14855428, 15 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18607084, 18 days agoDo you like massive QR codes in your downloaded videos?
Would you like to pay to have them removed? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14563522, 19 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16973748, 19 days agoIt was great before. But now, doesn't work anymore. Videos stop at 3/4 downloading Or fail. Or unreadable. Sad news

- Rated 2 out of 5by Helga, a month agoWrong naming of downloaded files! It takes name of previous video. Please fix this!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18572212, a month agoTechnically, it's still a good old Video Download Helper but now it's trying to install a 3rd party app in your OS for the features old one had out of the box. It's a downgrade.

悪いことは「俺様とライセンス契約しないと録画内容に大きなモザイクマークをずっと貼り付けるぜ!」とライセンス契約を強要することだな - Rated 2 out of 5by SailAway, a month agoThis works yet it puts a huge QR code in the corner of the screen. A small one OK but really a 3x3 inch square on a 17 inch monitor.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18563141, 2 months agoThe addon seems to be good, but: I left my laptop to download few long videos and then i came back - the battery was almost empty.
Instead of direct downloading, there was a transcode of video in background. - Rated 2 out of 5by antleydiana, 2 months agoThis was a wonderful app while it lasted. Unfortunately, they eventually tried to make me pay for the service. Also it was supposed to be a lifetime payment but from my own research I've learned people are being asked to "upgrade" after as little as six months.
