I've used Video Downloader for several years but for past month it is no longer working. Please fix this. Why aren't you checking on it yourselves!

it" great. Does what it says. downloads videos when others cannot. It is now May 21, 2019. This extension has not worked for weeks. It was my "Go-To" video downloader. Now it downloads to the end and gets an error or dose not work at all.

Just rip-off. Now you need to install same secondary app so they can take your money. Forget about free part, it's false. It was good quite a while ago, you didn't have to install any software from dubious sources, but now...

It's bad and going downhill fast. I do not recommend.

At first it worked some of the time, then they makes you get additional add-ons which you then have to pay money for if you want to remove a watermark.

The watermark is ridiculous. Usually the free version although has some inconveniences it is still usable but that big watermark is totally unacceptable. I could buy the license, and I'd have done it because I need a premium quality conversion but after that I'm not giving you my money. You are ridiculous

NOT free. First it makes you download another app and install it on your PC. I did this because I used to use this program years ago and it used to be good. Then after you install this it makes you pay around 20$ to use it. False advertising.

not working as expected

Achtung! Ganz übel! Verlang extra Progamme zur Codierung! DANN setzt es noch ein fettes Wasserzeichen in das heruntergeladenes Video und teilöt dies am Schluss nach 2h codierung mit!
Geht gar nicht !

This is not really a Firefox add-on. When you first try to download a video, it makes you download a program that does the actual work, and then it shakes you down for money AFTER you've already downloaded a file, claiming it is doing conversion work, which it is most definitely not doing.

The extension requires an external app

New version of Videodownload Helper does not work. I'm running windows 10 with the Firefox Quantum browser version 61.0.7 My old Windows XP with the older version of Videodownload Helper worked perfectly. I think there is something drastically wrong with this add on.

I have downloaded the new mozilla as requested, despite the fact that Im already running mozilla to get Download helper which I have had for years and just had to get new Windows 10 and I cannot download your dlhelper without buying that video archive thing which cant happen cos im broke. Whats up guys.?

Antes funcionaba bien. Ahora con más frecuencia te exige usar un convertidor externo el cual estas obligado a instalar, una vez instalado NO SIRVE. Cuál es el punto entonces? Muy decepcionado de lo que es ahora el complemento, que no es ni la sombra de lo bueno que fue alguna vez.

Inserts a QR code over the video!

you need to pay if you want to use it.
first you install, than you click to download and everything looks good but then they ask you to pay for a license.
tipical crap companies.
I DONT RECOMMEND THIS EXTENSIONS OR ANYTHING FROM THIS DEVELOPER. not even the description refers to paying for a license, I feel like I have been cheated.

It always shows an Error,so i use Chrome to dwon load Movies

Requires to install some shitty companion app to function...

They watermarked every video I've downloaded since the last update. I'm uninstalling it.

Lo estaba usando para descargar un vídeo de un curso online que estoy haciendo cuando me dí cuenta que a la hora de codificar el vídeo (cosa que hace el programa para poner una marca de agua en modo código QR) me dí cuenta de que el consumo de mi CPU era del 99-100% lo cual me parece exagerado, por lo que ho bien no está bien programado o lo más probrable, que usen mi cpu para minar criptomonedas a cambio de descargar el vídeo.

This 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.

I 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.

Very bad interface
