This is really a easy-to-use nice-working
video-downloads option for Firefox
(I use FireFox Portable Edition; I can execute Firefox from a flash drive on almost any Windows pc, without installing Firefox.)
This software is Donationware (they request you contribute if you
get benefit).
After perhaps 700 downloads (earier version), I donated modest $.
I have only made a handful of downloads under
Video-DownloadHelper v4.9.1 and Firefox Portable v4.0.1,
but DownloadHelper appears to work almost identically well.
I just don't like to rate anything as 10of10.
I have NO complaints (other than under "Cons").
Best:
On most videos (e.g., Youtube.com and similar) I've tried,
I can download. SOME, such as an entire television show episode,
it did not work on. (I assume copy protection on the website.)
Once you start the display of the video, the icon animates,
and you can download the video as a file.
(On some websites, the video automatically starts to display,
causing the DownloadHelper icon to automatically animate.)
Worst:
Upgrading to (Firefox) Download Helper v4.9.1, appeared to require me to upgrade to Mozilla FireFox (Portable Edition) 4.0.1,
and to make it work for me>>
A fter install of Video-DownloadHelper v4.9.1,
I had to: right-click on DownloadHelper icon,
select preferences (behavior), and under "When I click on the Icon,"
I selected "Open Menu" as the behavior,
in order to be able to download.
This is why I downrated "Installati on".
