It's a video downloader tool that can help users grab and download embedded videos from various websites online. It boasts a simple and intuitive user interface and near-universal support and compatibility with all sources found on the web.

Similar to other solutions like 4K Video Downloader or Fast Video Downloader, Video DownloadHelper boasts a simple one-click operation for quick media downloader. What makes it stand out from its contemporaries is its seamless web browser integration through add-on extensions, further simplifying the experience for users.

Download virtually any video

Media consumption has mainly become an online experience, and you can pretty much view all kinds of videos that are embedded right on the pages you frequently visit. Now, there will be times when you want to grab that particular clip, so you can have a copy of it for yourself to view offline. In these kinds of situations, tools like Video DownloadHelper can come in handy.

Using this video downloading tool is straightforward as it integrates with your web browser, whether Chrome or Firefox, quite seamlessly. Once it recognizes media, its icon will flash with color. Click on it, and you can choose the file format and video resolution you want for your video. It works on pretty much any embedded video online and it even supports live streams.

In addition, it also offers to extract audio streams from videos and save them as MP3 files, as well as batch downloads to save you time on having to queue them one by one. Now, as easy as it is to use, there are some features found in others not included here, the most obvious one being the lack of advanced converting options.

Easy and just works

To sum up, if you're looking for a way to grab videos off the internet, Video DownloadHelper is a fast and simple tool that can help you out. It's easy to use, works with virtually any video online, and just works without any fuss. It doesn't have much in the way of advanced options, but it will be more than enough for most needs.

    No good anymore. Great when at first - now needs a convertor. Basically it wants to put things on your computer that you don't want. Avoid like the plague.
