  • Simple install and (once I noticed the 3-ball icon on the tool bar) very easy to download a video as an mp4. This worked nicely on Linux Centos 5.3. Unfortunately this add on does not work on cnn.com :-( but works like a champ on youtub.

  • This is junk. In order to convert you need to have a external app. Oh, and it costs money to upgrade it so it can convert videos to mp3s. Go to this website to get a greasemonkey script that downloads youtube videos to flv, mp4, and real time mp3! The link is http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/57074

  • Don't work thank you for adding !!!!!

  • Downloads funktionieren hervorragend, doch zum Konvertieren auf avi lässt nur ein kostenpflichtiges Tool zu

  • This addon is off the chain! Love it.

  • AMAZING.
    VERY VERY VERY USEFUL.
    THANKS AND BEST WISHES FOR THE DEVELOPER.

  • This is honestly one of the (if not THE) best add-ons for Firefox. Thank you so much - you're the greatest!

  • OMG YOU ARE HEAVEN SENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! This is a wonderful add-on for firefox. BRILLIANT!!

  • ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN MY SHORT NET-LIFE !!!

    I CAN'T DO WITHOUT YOU.

  • It's difficult to avoid words like 'Great', guidelines notwithstanding. Multiple downloads from Youtube & other sites was just what i was after. Along came Video DownloadHelper - user-friendly and extremely easy to use.Always around when you need it - believe me! Censor me if you wish but I'm going to say it...
    Yes...

  • Great addon, one that I use all the time.

  • Great add-on..............believe it :)

  • It seems to work quite well, downloading different kinds of video files, etc. However, I activated the file conversion feature, and then mistakenly tried to convert an AVI file to AVI (not realizing they were the same). I got a "conversion error" msg. But, now my original file is completely gone. Ouch!

  • when d status says "starting"...it means d video to b dnloded is already streaming and hence it waits fr d video to fully stream and copies it from d cache memory in a second.by dis way it doesnt download d same file again..

    i need sum1 to tell me if i can save the download queue list so dat i can resume downloading all d enqued links when i restart my computer again..
    i think it wud b better if it had a drag and drop option to enque links for download.
    plz help...

  • It was a great add-on, and the easy downloading of Youtube was a great function both in idea and execution. However, versions 4.6.* no longer work for me, displaying nothing in Media submenu, no matter what the site. I can still use older versions, but that means no Youtube, which reduces it from great to "merely" good for me, unfortunately. :(

  • Ok now i will download all youtube videos..

  • Downloads videos from almost any websites (and this is free). This is huge, because even the paid video downloading programs have limited websites. You can also convert the videos, and there are many more functions to make things easier.

    Only one minor bug: In YouTube when you open videos for the 3rd or 4th time, Firefox (3.5.3) does not open the page or takes a very (very) long time. Only way to avoid this is to disable this add-on.

  • It's in one word "WONDERFUL". It has made my life easy.

  • thanks for dwldhlpr i dont imagine my life without it
