Editor's review of VideoDownloader

Many popular video Web sites obscure video links to prevent downloading, but this freeware cuts through the jungle to find the proper URLs. VideoDownloader's sparse interface is simply a button on your browser status bar.

Navigate to any of the more than 60 video sites supported by VideoDownloader to find a video you want to download. Just click the status bar button and this utility searches the Web page for the video's true URL. A dialog box opens with the link. You merely right-click it and save the file to your system.

This application doesn't help you view the files, but players are easy to find. Installing this utility isn't a familiar operation, but users experienced with installing Firefox tools should have no trouble. One improvement would be the ability to download the file immediately by pressing the status-bar button. Still, we can easily recommend this application for any level user looking to download videos.

  I cannot install it

  by: Holybride on 03-Jul-2008 03:53:10 AM

  Cons: After I download it I realized it has xpi extention, the name of the file is : videodownloader-1.1.1-fx.xpi

  I don't know how to install it.

  O comeon man, I don't know how to install it, that means I cannot try it at all. How can you be that careless by uploading such extention without no manuals of how to install it.

  Not quite there

  by: Saturnreturn04 on 21-Aug-2007 07:34:34 PM

  Pros: Excellent at downloading Youtube videos, works every time.

  Cons: Often fails at downloading from Google, also it doesn't download the video with the name it has on the embedded webpage. just downloads it as 'get_video' without an extension. You have to rename it yourself and give it the .flv extension, which can be a bit annoying if you want to download a lot of videos.

  Does just what it says on the tin

  by: tonysuffolk on 21-Aug-2007 03:46:59 AM

  Pros: Great little tool. Took me a while to find the button but that was because I was looking in the taskbar. It is just above the system clock. Thanks
