- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14461240, 5 years agoЛучшая замена почившему дополнению «Video Downloadhelper», но интерфейс очень неудобный (особенно если нужно скачать много файлов с одной страницы). Впрочем, и даунлоудхелпер был таким же.
-----------------------
TO THE DEVELOPERS: UI could be much better. Why can’t I download files with their original names or give them names of my choice? Why can't I specify a download folder for each particular page? Why shold I do 4 additional clicks to just choose video quality?
Also, sometimes AVD can’t find videos on Youtube, when I play them in 720p. Maybe I should make a bug report.Developer response

An option to save video with name provided by web page was added by the users request. In private mode the dialog window for changing the video name and download folder will appear. By default AVD will download highest video quality from online player either select desired quality in add-on menu.

The release of cross-platform version of Native Application was delayed due to upcoming changes in web-extension that should be fixed first. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15275764, 5 years ago

If the audio link doesn't have an extension, use .ogg. Then, you can merge the two files using Avidemux or ffmpeg. If you want to watch them on a player not supporting the webm format, while merging the files you need to convert them too. Ogg Vorbis files can be easily converted in ac3 without losses and HQ videos can be converted in h264 or h265 (=HEVC). The container should be .mp4 or .mkv. Not as easy as downloading all together, but easier to do than to explain ;-)
--------------------------------------------
Si possono scaricare file anche su linux e mac, quindi senza aver installato l'app apposita: basta copiare e incollare i link dei contenuti (audio e video) in due nuove finestre/schede e salvarli separatamente (File->Salva pagina con nome...). Per l'audio potrebbe essere necessario aggiungere l'estensione. In tal caso, usare .ogg. Dopo di che, i due file andranno uniti tramite un programma apposito (Avidemux o ffmpeg) e, se volete vederli su un dispositivo che non supporta il formato webm, anche convertiti. Il formato Ogg Vorbis può essere convertito in ac3 senza perdite e il video, se è ad alta qualità, dovrebbe essere convertito in h264 o h265 (=HEVC). Il file di destinazione potrebbe essere un mp4 o un mkv. Non facile come scaricare il file tutto intero, ma più facile a farsi che a dirsi.Developer response

The easiest way to use AVD on macOS and Linux at the moment is to install old version 2.4.7.50 in Firefox 56 or below. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15217602, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Robert Holloway, 6 years agoThere are things I like very much about this app, and there are things that are really bad about it as well. It does most of what I want it to do. On the other hand though it includes videos to download which I am not even logged into to download. It has 3-4 choices to select from with 0 + megs in size, but it also picks up other videos which I am not targeting to download at the time and it further names these other videos with the same name of the target video. I thought I had downloaded some videos and when I opened them they were in fact not the target videos I had intended.
Second negative. I often download a series of videos, like those offered in online courses. Often this app does not set to the exact target video and I have to click on the intended video more than once, (up to four times) in order to get it to recognize the target video, so this is a pain in the neck as well. I use another video down loaders in conjunction with Ant that will supplement these deficiencies but that is inconvenient. So I am happy but not thrilled with Ant.Developer response
posted 6 years agoPlease note that AVD could also detect adds in supported formats and may not download some protected streaming protocols used for protecting paid content.
