I've found this add-on invaluable in preserving videos that would otherwise be lost or erased. It's worked to download every video I've tried it on so far, would definitely recommend.

Things like this are also incredibly useful in this era of 'always online', because you can actually download the video you want to watch offline and... actually watch it offline. No connection or subscription to a service needed.

VERY expensive for what you get. the free version has a QR code that overlays half of the video is some cases!

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.

What was available before sliced bread? I do not know either, but Video Download Helper is better than sliced bread. It is easy to set up on FireFox and works like a charm. Where has it been all this time while I was trying to download without it?

Does what it says it does and does it very well. :)

works fine for me.

Excellent Plugin for all the download needs.

Update: Dec 2025: Still a great tool. I have been using it for several years now. Works even better than it used to. 5 stars well earned. Strong Recommend.

Very helpful for downloading videos I have bought & want to watch again, even when & where there is no internet at all. Really quite good.
