Video DownloadHelper is the most complete tool to extract videos and image files from Web sites and save them to your hard drive. Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the toolbar icon highlights and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item. For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system.
It also works with most video sites like DailyMotion, Facebook, Periscope, Vimeo, Twitch, Liveleak, Vine, UStream, Fox, Bloomberg, RAI, France 2-3, Break, Metacafe and thousands others. Video DownloadHelper supports several types of streamings, making the add-on unique amongst Video downloaders: HTTP, MP2T, F4F, Whenever a site uses a non-supported streaming technology, Video DownloadHelper is also able to capture directly from the screen and generate a video file out of it. As a bonus, Video DownloadHelper can also record Twitter Periscope. Just specify search terms and the add-on will capture over night related live streams. As another bonus, you can also use Video DownloadHelper to capture a full browsing session, optionally highlighting the mouse position and generate a video file out of it. This is ideal to create Web a site demos as a video. Besides downloading, Video DownloadHelper is also able to make video conversion (changing audio and video formats) and aggregation (joining separate audio and video to a single file) very easy.
This is a commercial feature that helps paying for the free stuff (we need to eat too). You are not compelled to use conversion for downloading videos from web sites, and you can avoid picking variants marked as ADP to avoid the need for aggregation. When you first install the extension, your browser is redirected to a welcome page with links to a user manual. This does not change your homepage setting and the welcome page won't appear anymore.

Added gallery capture: as it was the case with version 6.3.3, it is now possible to capture galleries of images and links embedded into a page. By default, you need to manually analyze the page from the add-on main panel for the potential galleries to be discovered, or you can change the setup to perform the analyze automatically whenever a page is loaded. Added right-click download commands: right-clicking into a page gives access to a Video DownloadHelper menu. From there you can request the download of a video playing in the page, or perform some top-level commands like opening the extensions settings or requesting the analyze of the page. Added hotkeys: you can now start the default action on the top-most detected video variant in the page by pressing ALT+SHIFT+D.
Also keys ALT+SHIFT+Y opens the add-on main panel. Blacklist edition: it is now possible to edit the blacklist from the settings, in order to remove an entry that has been erroneously added, or add new ones manually.

Fixed download of encrypted HLS streams using key relative URLs (a zero-day bug).
No error reported on user download cancellation.

Fixed download of encrypted HLS streams using key relative URLs (a zero-day bug). No error reported on user download cancellation. Source code released under.
Fixed missing audio on Vimeo videos You may have noticed that for some time, downloaded videos from Vimeo (or from sites hosting their videos on Vimeo) do not have audio. This is due a change in their streaming technology and they now stream the audio and video parts of the media separately, as YouTube have been doing for several years. The Video DownloadHelper workaround is the same as with YouTube: use an external video converter to aggregate audio and video streams into a single audio+video file that can be used by your video player. We are aware of the inconvenience of having to install an external application, but there is no easy alternative here.
Note that once the converter is installed, the process is totally transparent and you end up with a fully playable video without any special action. If you want to avoid using the converter, you can still use Video DownloadHelper to download separately the two streams (but you will have to find a way to play them together). For doing so, open DownloadHelper settings More Chunked streaming, check Advanced.
In section DASH streaming, parameter When DASH contains both audio and video lets you choose which stream(s) you want to download. Default is Aggregate audio and video, which implies using the converter but you can change it to choose audio or video only. Source code released under. Video DownloadHelper detects and captures more videos! A number of YouTube videos are streamed not only in ADP mode (audio and video in separate streams) but each of those streams in DASH mode (plenty of small segments that need download and rework to create a playable media).
Previously, Video DownloadHelper ignored those videos, causing a No media found message to be displayed. With version 6.2.0, you are now offered to download those videos in several quality variants.

HLS-streamed videos have been supported since version 5.5.0 but some servers use encryption on those streams, causing Video DownloadHelper to generate a useless 48 bytes file. This new version supports encrypted HLS. Important fixes A number of users complained about not having audio when playing HLS videos using Windows Media Player. This is now fixed and you don't have to use alternative players to hear those videos. In some cases, HLS captures lead to a file containing only audio.
This was due to a bug that has been fixed in this version. Users with very poor networking conditions like an Internet connection going up and down had a hard time downloading videos, particularly big ones. The new version fixes an issue with chunked downloads not using retries properly, and add a configurable delay between retries. Version 6.2.0 also fixes an issue with pages containing many videos (like a video-oriented tumblr page).
If requesting some downloads and scrolling down to make new videos to be detected, you could lose control of the downloads. Other fixes and improvements.

You can now use the multi-formats video player that comes with the converter thanks to the new Play action. Better F4F capture support: you can now choose between several quality variants when available on the server. Source code released under. On March 24th, YouTube made some changes causing Video DownloadHelper not to recognize some videos when logged in. We provided a fix for that within 24 hours under the form of a beta version of the add-on.
This 5.5.0 release brings those changes to everyone. Videos streamed over the chunked protocols HLS (MPEG-TS/MP2T, on sites like Dailymotion and many live streaming sites) and DASH (M4F used on sites like Vimeo) can now be downloaded without the need for the converter. Previous 5.4.x versions had a basic support for those streams, but it was inconvenient (you had to keep the video running) and the converter had to be used to finalize the download to a proper video file.
This new version even offer in most cases the choice between several quality variants. The old list of supported sites (which were not maintained anymore) is back to life. All the listed 1000+ video web sites are alive and are DownloadHelper-compatible. New sites are added weekly. Those lists are hosted on the website and no longer managed by the addon. A long-time request from users with a low quality network connection: automatic download retries.
If the download fails in a recoverable way, the add-on tries to resume the download from where it stops. The number of retries before giving up is configurable. Add-on settings are now managed from with a tab and no longer an add-on panel. The DownloadHelper icon is now usable from the Firefox options panel. An option has been added to switch to the tab owning a particular video entry in the panel.

Fixed gallery downloads with spaces in file names. Fixed canceling download from Firefox manager cancels entry download in add-on. Fixed wrong video window ownership when popup is launched at video start. Fixed download list showing chunks on YouTube when smartnaming default was set to header/url or obfuscated. Source code released under.
Video DownloadHelper 5.3.0 introduces a new capture method we call Screen Capture, or SCRAP in some UI places, which consists of taking snapshots of a browser window region at high-frequency, and encode them on the fly, using the converter, to create a video file. This capture method is used in two new features:.
Browsing session capture: an easy way to make web sites demo videos. The add-on captures the visible part of a browser window and optionally, is able to highlight the mouse. Applet capture: the add-on analyzes the loaded page to detect Flash and video regions big enough to be considered as capturable content and creates new entries in the detected hits list.
Passing the mouse over those entries highlights the related region in the page so you know what you are about to capture. Other minor fixes and additions:. optionally use browser's default download directory instead of VDH specific one.

optionally display VDH controls from the Tools menu. optionally allows prefixing gallery captured files with incremental number. MP2T capture can now be configured from the settings. conversion output profiles can now be configured from the settings. if converter is not installed, place ADP variants detected from the network at the bottom of the list.
