I would love to review this version, but I haven't been able to use the last few versions because I use an older operating system. I can't use any version of VDH any more, but I'm hesitant to update to a newer operating system just to get VDH, because that would be to risk a lot of my older programs suddenly becoming obsolete and potentially unreadable by newer versions of those programs, and thus losing some of my most valuable creative work. It would sure be nice if the newer versions of VDH could be back-fitted to older operating systems as well.

Got the review that was asked for.

You keep harassing me for a review so there you go

I love using this app, it helps me download media at reliable speeds and cheat against HLS protection with usually clean outcomes. However, I just received a tab notifying me of an update, and above the links it gave me to leave a review or donate, there was a piece of AI-generated art. I could tell because of the lack of genuine symmetry, not achieving the same authentic and smooth texture you would get if you hired a living artist. I am giving it one star for that alone. Please let this serve as a reminder to pay actual artists and not use up a tremendous carbon footprint typing in a prompt for an AI to respond to.

Hey, you begged me for a review, so here it is;
I'm uninstalling your app! It rarely ever worked anyway, why I've kept it around for so long, who the heck knows.
But the final straw, or 2, has been throwing water marks on videos & demanding that I pay up (spoiler, I won't) & begging me for a review.

Well. Here you go.

Historically this app has worked 10% of the time for me. Which, yes, begs the question, why have I kept it on my computer for so long?
Good question. I have no answer for you. But I will be uninstalling it, because the developers are turning it from garbage that does work most of the time, into garbage that they think I'll actually pay for.

No.

Bye.

Много лет ФФ устанавливает мне эту байду, но они требуют 28,5 баксов за отключение QR на все видео, которое они накладывают поверх в полэкрана. Это не может стоить столько даже пожизненно. Ведь плагин без этого мертв и цена ему 0.

External App needed and paywalled functions
adds watermark in video unless payed
by using open source ffmpeg...

i cant believe i downloaded and installed software to have a watermark in the size of half of the video in the downloaded copy, what an idiot i am, so do not load the extension and do not install additional software !!!!

The description doesn't say anything about buying a "conversion license" to get rid of the QR code.

Huge watermark, until you pay 20 euros

Paywalled

unless you pay 40 dollars it puts a giant qr code watermark in your videos, not worth it avoid.

After last update addon not working

I have purchased a lifetime useage access for VideoDownloader. However, with a reboot, the code is not working to let me download without a watermark. I have entered my code multiple times, but still nothing changes. This is not good.

Depois somente de fazer o download, que avisa que tem uma marca na versão free.

obrigado por nada.

Text makes it sound like it's free ware, but it's not; you have to purchase a license for it's companion app to download anything (unless you like have a MASSIVE QR code on the resulting videos)...
