Need donate for removing Watermarks.

Works well for some videos. For others, you need an additional download.
Installed the companion application. First video I tried had huge watermark. Sure I can remove the watermark, for $28. Seriously overpriced.
Uninstalled...

I have been using DownloadHelper for years now, and have contributed to their service.
I know we are not supposed to post bug reports here, but there is nothing in the add-on community about the problem I am having, and no response from bug reports.
No matter what video website I am using, only partial videos download on most videos. I have removed and reinstalled the add-on and associated add-on and checked for updates numerous times, but no change. I have reported the bug, but no response at all for weeks. Others have reported this, and I've tried to use their suggested fixes, but nothing has worked.
IF they get this bug out of the system, I will rerate this add-on for 5 stars. It used to be excellent for years, and now this bug I can't fix.
HELP anyone?

I've started getting the message that videos are being converted and leaving a qr code after using this thing for a year. I have never asked the program to convert videos. If I want that I can do it myself easily after downloading. So, I've been looking for a way to turn this conversion on the fly feature off but I can't. So rather than waste anymore time I'm just going to stop using it. Seems easier. Too bad, it was fairly easy to use. Hopefully there's one that gets the job done without trying to force me to purchase a license.

Установив крайнюю версию (7.3.5) обнаружил крайне неприятную штуку: при попытке скачать видео, предлагает установить какую-то прогу, а там - платная рега. Вот так.. Без доната не скачать. Буду пробовать более ранние версии.

7.1.2 - крайняя версия, качающая без установки какой-либо другой проги.

Complicated user interface, but once you got it figured out, it works well for the most part. My biggest gripe is their 1080p requires a software installation outside of Firefox. Okay fine. After the time-consuming task of downloading and finalizing the download, they stick a giant QR code block on the video and mention how you need to pay to download videos without the giant obstruction. Would have been nice to know all this crap in the description or some kind of notification before downloading the 1080p video.

Cant get version 7.3.4 to work. It always asks to install a new companion (1.2.4?), which I did as I am using Xubuntu, but the problem stays

ne fonctionne pas avec tf1 video

Seit Einführung der Begleitanwendung spielt mein Computer verrückt wenn er diese anwendet. Die Festplatte arbeitet ununterbrochen und meistens stürzt am Ende der Computer ab oder alles ist blockiert. Ich frage mich auch ob diese Compagnon-app nicht auch den Computer mit der zeit zerstört, durch Überbeanspruchung. Früher funktionierte dieses Add-on perfekt. Heute stufe ich es sogar als gefährlich für die Hardware ein. Nun kann man alle Downloads vergessen die nicht über den Browser heruntergeladen werden können.
Sehr schade :-(

To get this add-on to work properly you have to install a companion application called 'VdhCoApp', but for some reason the developers fail to give you this information? When Video DownloadHelper updates, it will redirect you to another tab which says: "Congratulations, you just upgraded to Video DownloadHelper ... ". Watching something interesting or maybe you're in the middle of something important, well Video DownloadHelper doesn't care - you WILL be redirected! Honestly, who the hell thought that was a good idea, it's like having a virus on your machine! I tried the convert option, it took so long to do the conversion I thought it hadn't worked and there's absolutely no feedback whatsoever while processing the file. Overall, the UI is not very intuitive. Also, if you chose an ADP variant and the conversion feature has not been registered the resulting video contains a QR barcode watermark in the top left corner. There are better options out there which don't need a companion application, give you conversion options up front, and don't insert a watermark in your videos. Uninstalled.

no puedo descargar los videos, al principio era todo bien, despues los videos solo de youtube no puedo descargarlos. Y me sale actualizar la aplicacion pero no el boton para actualizar al abrir la pestaña

VDH was my favorite downloader for years.... but.... it has gotten SLOWER downloading videos. It used to DL 2 videos at a time.... now it only does 1 most of the time. One video I am trying to DL right now is only 5 minutes long but the DL time is estimated at over 2 hours when it used to take ten minutes or less.

Took forever to get it to work. Still not sure.

How does one get started downloading from YouTube?

What's the next step to actually doing it? GO WHERE?
