- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6131274, 8 years agoThis is now a paid addon.
It should be clearly mentioned somewhere. I lost my time, thinking that it was a free addon, like some years ago.
Now, for most actions, an additional software needs to be installed. This software adds a QR Code inside the videos unless you pay $28.50 USD or €18.50.
I think this kind of addon should not be allowed for a free and open source browser.Developer response
posted 8 years agoThis hasn't changed for almost 10 years. Having paid options is the reason why you keep having an up-to-date add-on. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13193441, 8 years agoAbsolute garbage. It inserts a giant QR code on top of the video and at NO point in the process does it actually mention this. I don't mind monetizing software but this just wasted my time. On top of that, the conversion process took over 4 hours for a 30 min 1080p video on a 16 core high end machine. Garbage.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13561354, 8 years agoLa aplicación es de 10, pero que tengas que pagar para que no salga una marca de agua en los videos no lo es. Por lo tanto .... una estrella y porque no puedo poner 0.
20 euros de aplicación, menuda locura. - Rated 1 out of 5by Leoq, 8 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13860108, 8 years agoEmbeds a QR code over any video you download. Inevitably ends up asking to install extra software 'to help' with saving to disk. Feels scammy.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13107061, 8 years agoAfter 3 hours downloading, I saw it has placed a QR-code in the video.
It should've been made clear before, but I did not find any hint to that.
Really annoying - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13859397, 8 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by sheila, 8 years agoatualmente os vídeos da globo tem esta extensão que não deixa baixar pelo dowload helper como antes: ghtml
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13857027, 8 years agoWas 5 star. After the latest update, it takes 300% to 600% longer for each download. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13856649, 8 years agoTechnik okay, aber die Umsetzung ist furchtbar!!! INzwischen von Schwachmaten völlig kaputtprogrammiert! Übersicht NULL, Bedienung NULL, Funktion auch nur noch NULL! Wozu ein MP4-Video konvertiert werden muß? Keine Ahnung...
DAzu Extra-Software nötig - wofür eigentlich???
Und ein "Wasserzeichen oben in der Ecke? Sagt mal, hackts bei Euch eigetnlich??? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13832755, 8 years agoForces you to install software. Places QR code to the extracted videos. ZERO STARS!! NOT EVEN 1!!! FAKE REVIEWS!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by andy, 8 years agoThe worst devils don't exist in hell. They work as computer programmers, and make EVIL software like this.
This satanic sht software stopped working again!! Now these evil bastards want you to download a giant piece of additional spyware to be able to download videos. I hate that these bastards can change stuff on my computer so it dopesn't work anymore! I hate them! Meanwhile they continue to put up hundreds of fake five star rveiews with the same text.
The spyware is called: VdhCoAppSetup-1.1.3.exe.
It is 36.8 MB in size. - Rated 1 out of 5by néo matrice, 8 years agoMaintenant avec un gros Filigrane "Watermark" durant tout la vidéo, now big watermark all in video. and ask to download another software Firefox not see and can block if this software do something illegal! Et demande de télécharger un logiciel compagnon! quel merde, de demandé un autre logiciel que Firefox pourrais refuser si il font des choses illégal!

- Rated 1 out of 5by pican, 8 years agoWhy was version 7.2.1 installed in Firefox 52.X ESR? It's clearly not compatible and doesn't even work!!! Downgraded to 6.3.3 and turned off updates for this extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by CPW2K17, 8 years agoDoesn't work well with the newer Firefox Quantum. (58.0.2 64bit) It Works but the last step "agrigating" I believe it's called is so slow its just not worth waiting that long. Used to be WAY faster than this.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13851094, 8 years agoShitty add-on, even with a local companion app, it can't download most videos. (I use Firefox Quantum)

posted 8 years agoToo bad you did not report a single non-downloadable video to the support forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/video-downloadhelper-q-and-a - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13850897, 8 years agoПри попытке скачать видео с ютуба просит установить на комп дополнительное приложение. Нах тогда вообще такое дополнение?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13850558, 8 years agoWAS the greatest tool - now: useless!! Does not show mp4 anymore, only webm. If I download webm and also IF a mp4 is possible, another tab slowly opens and a totally useless filename should be used to save which I then have to manually edit. Waste of time! All that is since the last update - before: everything absolutely great. Another software "optimized" to death.
- Rated 1 out of 5by BobB, 8 years agoKeeps locking up on numerous sites. Very unreliable. When I tag 10 video downloads and leave I expect them to be done when I get back. But usually find that it's locked up on #2 3. So I've got to start the whole process all over again.
- Rated 1 out of 5by John , 8 years agoNo longer works like it used to. Cannot download many videos anymore. Useless.
