Why it exists

Three situations VDA was built for

01

A video is playing, but there is no download button.

VDA watches the network requests the page makes. When a video or audio stream starts, it appears in the extension with a download button.

02

The stream is HLS or DASH, not a single file.

Streaming sites split video into many small segments. VDA reassembles them inside the browser and saves one playable file.

03

It is a live stream.

Press record in the extension and stop when you are done. The recording is written to disk while it happens, so a long stream never fills your memory.

What it does

Six things, done in the browser

All detection, download and conversion run locally. DRM-protected streams are the one thing VDA does not touch.

Sniff media on any page

Video, audio and images that a page actually loads are detected. Ad and tracking requests are filtered out.

Download HLS and DASH

m3u8 and MPD playlists, including AES-128 encrypted HLS and live HLS streams.

Convert inside the browser

TS, FLV, WebM and HEVC streams convert to MP4 locally. Audio can be saved as MP3. No ffmpeg or other software to install.

Parallel download for big files

Stable files of 64 MB or more are fetched in parallel ranges and resume after an interruption.

Batch and queue

Queue several detected files at once, or save every image on a page in one pass.

Files land where you expect

Finished files are handed to the browser download manager and saved to the folder your browser uses.
