Added a watermark that wasn't there before

pay to test...

Been having a issue for a long time were if I watch live youtube videos
the browser would start taking up a ton of memory and start becoming really slow

finally figured out that disabling this addon made that problem go away

dysfunctional without payment - how is it possible that this is not mentioned in the profile on mozilla's page??
takes up an astounding amount of resources of the PC

need an extra software... lame

Uninstall on June2024.


NO LONGER BE ABLE to download all videos format without watermark

Du racket add-on à éviter.

Puts a watermark in the corner covering about 15% of the screen. They don't tell you this until after the download completes.

The watermark is basically ransomware, requiring $28.50 to obtain a new version that doesn't ruin your downloads. Moving on to a new addon.

Huge memory leaks. Went up to 2.4g before I purged it.

I've tried Video DownloadHelper as a YouTube-DL alternative to download a paid video I had rented on Vimeo. The extension offers to downloaded the 1920 x 1080 pixels DASH stream, and downloads it fast, but then it launches a transcoding (called an aggregation), even though I've disabled "Force H264 tuning in aggregation", which would have taken hours. It turns out the free version adds a watermark, which requires post-processing and transcoding. My understanding is that you have to pay €18.50 for a premium license to get fast downloads without transcoding.

I have turned to Downie 4 by Permute's developer Charlie Monroe, which is also paid at €18.99, but has the advantage of being up front about it. Alternatively it is included in the Setapp subscription service. It has a cleaner interface and it works with Chrome and Firefox as well as Safari and Opera, alas only on macOS.

tl;dr: Video DownloadHelper should clarify its freemium business model on its official website and in its browser extensions.

The download helper use to be very good, but now it no longer provides the same service. Previously it provided multiple options for downloading a video but now only provides one from ADT. ADT is extremely slow in downloading and often the download fails to complete. On occasion it downloads the video but not the audio. I use it both on Win 10 and Linux Open Suse.

The problems I am guessing occurred via some updates, not sure if it was Firefox or Download Helper. I did not make any changes so it had to be a change in the software. I wish there were a better plugin since this one no longer provides proper service.

Used to be great and helpful; now it doesn't work anymore without some shady "companion app" (i won't install your software outside Mozilla, sorry). Uninstalled after years of use. Pity.

6 MOIS POUR ENCODER

I understand that they need funding for this add-on but £18.50 seems excessive considering there are several free alternatives.

Soundless videos, watermarked videos, or not detected at all. Too many struggles for such popular extension.

doesn't save video, only audio, even with the companion app installed (also it says it would watermark converted videos)

This addon doesn't mention that it requires a paid license until it finishes downloading and converting the videos you save by adding a watermark. If they noted this before use I wouldn't be bothered; however, they don't mention this until *after* the video has finished processing which took nearly 20 minutes for a 4k video.

You need a third party app AND a payed license to convert stuff. I can't even download most of the videos at all, and if so not as mp4 or another normal format.
