You have developed an excellent little add-on.

Many thanks to the developer for your effort & creating the video downloader.
You did a great job.
Keep it up.
I wish you all the best. Do you & your dear families stay healthy in this situation & times.
Best regards
Johnny - Rated 2 out of 5by angelar, 5 years agoDoes what it should, but ADP-based video sites (YouTube etc.) require a conversion with this app. When doing so, it gets stuck on a lengthy "aggregating" process, wherein it is applying a watermark to the entire video. This process is throttled and takes ages (over an hour for a <5 minute download.)
Paying a whopping $30 USD for a license skips this step completely. Which is to say it's completely unnecessary, and exists just to twist your arm for cash. No thanks. - Rated 2 out of 5by John Michael, 5 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by WhataMack, 5 years agoI've used this add-on for a long time, but more recently it seems any video (and I mean any video) adds a watermark upon download, and apparently the only way to avoid this is to register and pay them. Maybe I'm using it incorrectly, but I'm disabling it now.
- Rated 2 out of 5by bullet1520, 5 years agoWay too much of this add-on requires an external application or redirect. That's ridiculous that even the "quick download" (the most basic function this add-on exists for!) requires it. I see this hasn't improved at all since the last time I'd had it installed years ago.
- Rated 2 out of 5by ITG, 5 years agoIt seems to be quite nice at first glimpse, but, the "aggregation" puts a big (really big) QR-code to the upper left corner of the downloaded videos, in order to force you register (==buy). And does it causing a huge load to the CPU/RAM/GPU for minutes or quarters of hours(!). And several cases this "aggregation" is the only option - despite, what is written in the description.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Mark, 5 years agoSorry to say but the video downloader is great for a lot of different porn sites that it works well for flash downloading of such sites. The reason I say it's sad because I wanted to use it for other sites besides porn but oh well. Anyway when I try to use it for other sites as other users have mentioned there is a watermark and I have also seen the whole movie image looking like your looking through a screen door or window. Also after waiting for a very very very long time like over an hour of downloading a movie there will be two files in the dwhelper folder in users of drive c: that will be one for video and the other for audio. I have waited also for almost another hour for the whole thing to complete or merge the two files. Yay another watermarked video... Oh Goodie (not really). Well I guess I will continue to use this for only porn then as that is all it's good for.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Fred, 5 years agoNot really fast, and need to pay to avoid a huge QR code on the screen..... Bad!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Badabing, 5 years agoMaybe it's just me but I found it all to complicated, I saw talk of $ for a license, then there was all these permissions and here at the end I see that is made outside North America. I just don't feel right about it so I am deleting it. I may be wrong about all this but it just doesn't feel right.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15607752, 5 years agoThis app was awesome for years but has not kept up with the times. I'm running latest version but it no longer detects YouTube videos in an MP4 format. You now get a horrible watermark and the quality of the conversion is severely degraded.

- Rated 2 out of 5by H. Feuer, 5 years agoIn the past, this has been a useful and dynamic add-on. It has now been monetized (watermark/stamp on downloaded videos) and requires installation of an external application that is not the git-hub secured version. The "companion app" is basically just FFMPEG, which many have installed by official sources but this official one is not recognized by the add-on. This leads to unnecessary and risky additional apps. Sadly, there are no brave alternatives for websites besides YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
