Review Summary
Video Downloader Prime is praised for effective video detection and quick downloads on sites like Vimeo and Kaltura, especially when using VLC to play m3u8 files. However, many users report issues with incomplete downloads, missing audio, and unplayable or broken files. The extension mainly downloads videos in m3u8 format rather than MP4, which reduces compatibility. Users experience inconsistent functionality across different platforms, with some sites unsupported. Although it has a user-friendly interface, many users find it unreliable for a full video download experience, especially from protected or large media sources.
Pros
- Works well for downloading videos from certain sites like Vimeo and Kaltura lectures.
- Downloads videos quickly and with good detection capability.
- Can download videos in m3u8 format that play well with VLC player.
- Has a simple and user-friendly interface with popup detection.
Cons
- Does not download videos in common formats like MP4; mainly downloads m3u8 files which can lack audio or have playback issues.
- Downloaded videos sometimes are incomplete, broken into small clips, or show as zero length/black screen and are unplayable in default media players.
- Inconsistent performance; works on some sites but frequently fails on others or stops working over time.
- Requires specific media players (like VLC) to view videos properly; default Windows players often show errors or corrupted files.
- Does not effectively support downloading from sites like Amazon or other protected platforms.
