Description

Features: 1. Supports HLS video (streaming video indexed by m3u8 file), integrating all media fragments into a single MP4 file. 2. Supports HLS live streaming. 3. Supports videos or live streams with a 'blob' prefix in the player's src address. For such media, when the actual media address cannot be detected, the "recording mode" can be used to convert the buffered data into an MP4 file. 4. Supports various static videos or audios that can be played on web pages, such as MP4, WEBM, etc. 5. Supports streaming MP4 (HLS v7, may add support for "MPEG-DASH" in the future). 6. Uses multi-thread downloading, which can significantly increase the download speed in good network conditions, very useful for downloading large files. 7. Supports switching resolutions, available when the HLS video's m3u8 file provides multiple resolutions. 8. Provides media preview, if multiple media are captured on a page, you can confirm your target through the preview. 9. Provides a feature-rich download interface, where you can know the download speed, progress, and perform operations like switching download threads, switching resolutions, and modifying file names. 10. All the work of this tool is done in your browser, without using any third-party servers to transmit or convert media data. Notes: 1. This tool is only applicable to videos that comply with technical standards, and it does not work for videos using non-standard playback technologies. It does not have special adaptations for specific websites. 2. It does not support encrypted videos, and we are not responsible for any media you download. It is recommended to check the copyright of the media before downloading. 3. Although this tool has been adapted to popular web videos, it cannot guarantee absolute success in the adapted scope. If it doesn't work for you, please try other tools as an alternative.

Would work better if it would let me download more than 5 episodes at a time before it tells me "error loading manifest. Also it says " error connecting to internet" when my internet speed is perfect!!!

Was working great but now only SEEMS to work fine. This was set to Autosave and I tried on several different downloads but there is no mp4 saved in the download folder. I then click on manual DL but nothing happens. There is no place to get help so can't use :(

All of a sudden it's saying that it needs an update/extension but when you click on the provided link, it takes you the main page and there's no update available.

The app has turned into an ad spamfest. Open the download window and it's populated with four or more ads, interfering with the UI and making the app difficult to use anymore. I understand the need for revenue but the devs have enshittified it beyond recognition. I'll find (or write) an alternative that doesn't abuse the user.

When I record a video using the recorder, the video got recorded succesfully but the audio became terrible, like a monster voice. Extention is pretty good btw.

Doesn't work anymore - I click download and all it does is takes me to the authors website asking me to install the extension again - It's already the latest version!

Works ok, but much room for improvement. Unfortunately, trying to provide feedback via their contact form proved to be a waste of time, due not only to a very small character limit, but their failure to indicate such, resulting in a waste of time typing up the issues I have with it and requests for improvement. So I'll use it as an additional method when others fail, but it won't be my primary downloader and I can't give it more than 2* due to the issues it has and the very frustrating "feedback" form (which is *not* really a feedback form the way it's designed, which is a major pet peeve of mine).

Only 2 stars because it does work on downloading selected files but what I am faced with is it does not allow playback. For some reason it saves it to a streaming MP4 and Old style original MP4 and neither are compatible with the playback programs used for the home theater which is not equipped with a PC. The preferred method of video encoding should be MKV quality. Even after trying to convert the MP4 to MKV I get file video errors which leads me to believe that this file even though its MP4 is really HVEC encoded which can't even be played on my 4K screen nor Roku box unless a PC is connected to it and if that is the case then forget this program and just live stream through a PC. The settings are also finnicky and not always straightforward and one must figure out the proper settings to get things to work. Of 100+ video downloads only 4 actually worked properly albeit 2 had to be converted to a different format; for me that is not good odds. Perhaps, the last few updates messed up the program. I'll try a few more attempts but most likely will be removing this and going back to the Universal Custom Player which is not 100% either but at least it does support other video formats.

Does its job well, but after a while the page refreshes, making it lose all of its progress.

I would say that this is an excellent and powerful video downloader if it can download all kinds of video, including those on YouTube. BUT, it can't. Technically, you can't use it to download YouTube video, and sometimes you can only use it to record the video rather than download it.

I would have given this software a 5 star rating but due to FetchV removing support for Firefox browser recently I can't do that now.
