CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on July 30, 2008
Don't be deceived by this Firefox extension's unassuming user interface; it's a very capable video player.
NetVideoHunter operates via a tiny icon and counter that appear in your status bar. When you click on the icon, a window appears for viewing videos. We liked the step-by-step guide that walks you through the process--a definite plus for novice users. There is a link that's supposed to offer information on how to play FLV files, but clicking it didn't produce anything. On our first try, we visited the ever-popular YouTube. We clicked on a video and as soon as it started playing, we noticed that it was added to the counter. Clicking on NetVideoHunter's tiny icon revealed a video link where we had two choices, to play or to download. When we clicked play, the video quickly and clearly played in the same window. The download button just as quickly saved the FLV file to our selected location. When you close the browser, you will lose all of the information in the counter, so you'll need to save files in the same session you find them.
This video player worked great. The videos quickly appeared in the queue, and played or were saved without any issues. We recommend it for all users.

Version: NetVideoHunter 1
"Works great with Firefox 3.5.4"
Pros: Small add-on, quick and easy, user-friendly
Cons: You have to play the video first to download. Not a big deal.
Summary: It's very n00b friendly and easy to use.
I've also used Video Download Helper and they both work as advertised, but in my opinion, this is just simpler.
