Saludos.. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12521065, 7 years agoThere are those videos that just make me smile, that I'm using just for my personal enjoyment. I'm not sharing them, I'm just enjoying what someone posted. Posters close accounts, and these wonderful posts go away. Video DownloadHelper allows me to enjoy these videos, and that makes a big difference in my day. Wonderful, intuitive, and easy to use. It works for me!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14195070, 7 years agoThis add-on uses deceptive and dishonest tactics to coerce users into buying license, as extensively described in many of these reviews: it deceptively converts all already free available high definition videos to a lower resolution, just to blackmail you that you have to pay if you want it back to its original, and freely available, high definition. This is not even clearly mentioned and unless you will read some of these reviews and many complaints on the internet, you will not know what's going on in the background. Go google for the QR code block and other complaints on this extension. But there is more: This extension has an extremely annoying popup that not even firefox or addons such as uOrigin or others will be able to block, any time there is an update. IT is extremely annoying because it steals the focus of whatever you are watching, be it a full screen movie or your bank website, or if you are in the middle of a transaction or booking a flight, etc., the violent and frankly useless window jumps with some "Congratulations" message that will disrupt you and certainly cause rage in many cases. The message is actually quite stupid because nobody on the planet will believe that he/she deserves to be "congratulated" for some code update. If every code in the computer would "congratulate" you in such way, computers would have die long time ago: You have hundreds of thousands of files, libraries and applications --free or otherwise-- that get updated every single minute every day. Shame on this developer, this is the kind of developers that don't care for user experience and do not want to be transparent. Look for alternatives. youtube-dl is great and youtube-dl-gui is the perfect partner. And there are more.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14194991, 7 years agoComplicated 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14194646, 7 years agoI would enjoy this add-on more if the developer hadn't moved to blocking you from downloading high definition streams that are freely available from the source. If the stream is already in a high definition resolution, then don't automatically convert it, requiring the user to pay for your service to convert high definition. As an example, visit a streaming video site that offers any stream at 1920x1080 or greater. Attempt to download the file locally to your hard drive, via the extension or companion app, and the extension will begin "automatic conversion" which if you don't have their "premium service" will require you to purchase a license. There's no need for the developer to require this extension to automatically convert a stream that's already provided in high definition. To validate my claim, then use another download manager or application that will retrieve the stream. You can use VLC or youtube-dl, as examples, input the URL to the high definition stream and it will download it, which is what this extension should do but the developers are looking to get more over-priced license purchases for features that aren't needed unless the developer actually converted a stream for you because you needed it. However, you should be aware that if the original source media is not high definition, then you're not increasing the quality of the media by converting it to a higher resolution or bit-rate. Thumbs down to the developer for using this ridiculous tactic of "automatic conversions" for all high definition media.
- Rated 5 out of 5by larX, 7 years agoEin großartiges Add-On!
Ich benutze es mit Firefox auf einem Linux-Rechner; die Download-Seite des Add-Ons und der zugehörigen Erweiterungen stellen die Installationsanleitung und ggf. die erforderlichen Befehle für die Befehlszeile bereit. Das macht die Installation auch für Linux-Neulinge einfach.
Mit der Funktion "Seite analysieren" sucht das Add-On auf der geöffneten Seite und ggf. verlinkten Seiten nach Mediendateien und bietet die entsprechenden Downloadmöglichkeiten an. Das macht das Herunterladen etwa von Fotoalben sehr bequem.
Die Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten sind sehr gut gegliedert und weitgehend selbsterklärend.
Einzig bei großen Videoformaten in hoher Qualität sollte man schon eine "kraftvolle" Internetverbindung haben, da es bei Zeitüberschreitungen auf dem angesteuerten Server vorkommen kann, das der DownloadHelper vorzeitig den Download beendet. Das wiederum geschieht akkurat, sodass zumindest die bis dahin heruntergeladenen Formate sauber konvertiert und abgespeichert werden.
Eindeutig 5/5. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14194451, 7 years ago
