Pros
None that I can see, rarely works at all.
Cons
Nearly useless with new firefox
Summary
Keep your old version of firefox and the legacy version of video downloadhelper.
Pros
Idiots morons it worked before now you destroy it !
Cons
I hate change and this really sucks ! Worthless . Down load helper you are gone forever !
Pros
Captures almost everything!
Cons
Sometimes have to wait for updates to keep up with FireFox...
Summary
I've been using this tool for YEARS and wish it was available for Chrome, too. My only complaint is that some FireFox updates make this stop working, and we have to wait for VDH to make the necessary changes to make it compatible again.
Pros
I've managed to download some great stuff with Video downloadhelper.
Cons
It's hard to get it to do what you want.
First of all, you have to wait until the movie/episode that you want to download has been buffered and fully loaded. The catch to that is: Video downloadhelper doesn't want to stay with you long enough to actually download a fully loaded vid. It's all about the timing.
Otherwise, there is the issue of the actual downloads themselves. They do come out more pixelated than they originally were but aspect ratio is untouched. The sound can screw up but not horribly.
Worst is...that it sometimes cuts your downloads off early.
Summary
I wish that I could find something more stable than this...but right now, it's all that I have to download quality vids with aside from torrents and I've had so much trouble with them.
Pros
none none none
Cons
a download helper entry is in my tools pulldown menu i want this out and can't
readers please help
Summary
stinky won't uninstall
Pros
Simple, can choose between high res down loads or something simpler
Cons
It's a bit slow but that may be because I have it installed on my net book
Summary
Worth a look
Pros
Browser twirling icon lists video & images available for download
Cons
Does not work with every site, video & image
Pros
great stuff... works on all listed websites....peace of cake ... been using it for years
Cons
not realy a con , but a liitle more work intensive ... not all websites state the full title when clicking for downoading , so you have to manualy add title AND extension of the file
Summary
it's possible to download instantly by left-clicking on the arrow just on the right of the icon and choosing the file in the drop-down menu ( this option is missing in the editor's review )....also you can stop the animation by right-clicking on the icon and manualy change this in the option list
Pros
Downloadhelper is an add on that can be used on Firefox,Flock and Wyzo web browsers. It also works with Real Player and downloads videos quickly and then converts them into video files. So you can upload them to your site.
Cons
Downloadhelper does not work in all web browsers. But it is an asset in Flock where Real Player does not work. I did not add to firefox as Real player works here.Useful in browsers where Real Player does not work.
Summary
Downloadhelper is an asset on Flock and other browsers where Real Player does not work. On flock It downloads videos into Real Player and also converts them to windows media player.And saves the video in W.Media or Real Player in a video file.Then it can be uploaded to your site. It did this with my My Space videos(where Real Player is no longer supported.)It saved my video as Windows Media file and I uploaded it to my site succesfully.Works on Wyzo too.As well as Flock.

Download helper is another of my essentials like Real Player for downloading my own videos and uploading them to other sites.The Good new is in the updated version of Real Player it is updater every month,you no longer have to open a browser to down load videos,R Player has its own web search where you can download the video from there,the blue link appears just like in a browser and you can then download the video save it,play in real Player or upload to another site.But this tool,download helper a Firefox add on can be added to Flock,Pale Moon and wyzo browsers. And Downloadhelper works together with Real Player and when used on Flock and the other browsers it is compatable with. It downloads the video onto Real player and onto Windows Media Player. But it does not work well on its I you need real Player to convert the video onto.I tried using it on a PC without real Player and it did not work.But if you have real Player it works fine.A useful tool.

Download helper is a life saver when you want to download and convert videos to upload to your blog on web browser,where Real Player does not work. But i tried using download helper on its own in Flock,Pale Moon and Wyzo the browsers it works with on its own. after uninstalling Real Player from my laptop but the video would not convert. But when I re-installed real Player,Download helper worked fine again,the videos were downloaded from Flock browser onto real player and played in real Player. But Download helper will also convert the video onto Windows Media Player it, seems you do need to have Real Player installed on your computer for it to work properly. but download helper works with real player which is fine and it is very useful in browsers where real player does not work.So together with real Player this is easy to use just make sure you tick the box conversion enabled. To enable Download helper to work. but like real player it does not work in all browsers.
Pros
not compatible with Firefox 3.6.3...
Cons
=-( Hope that's fixed soon...
