About Web Browsers Summary:

"Video DownloadHelper is a Firefox extension that gives you the ability to capture and download audio, video, and image files from web sites like YouTube and MySpace. You can also receive alerts whenever a new video is available within your interest range on a select group of sites."

Publisher's Description:

"DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to capture video and image files from many sites. Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item. For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace, Google videos, DailyMotion, Porkolt, iFilm, DreamHost and others. When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can download some or all of them at once."

Video DownloadHelper Review:

"Videos seem to be slowly taking over the Web. Ranging from newsworthy to comedic, these short clips and full-length features have made sites like YouTube and Google Videos a very hot commodity. Wouldn't it be nice if we could save the videos we like to our hard drives? Video DownloadHelper lets you achieve this very easily. This extension eliminates the need for advanced knowledge or complicated software to obtain the media files that we want." Read more...
