  1. Hi. I recently installed the Firefox extension 'Video downloadhelper' and it's worked very well so far. The author's notes says it works on sites 'like Dailymotion' but I've just tried to grab a Dailymotion video and VDH just isn't seeing anything.

    Can anyone suggest what the problem is? If it's the case that, despite what the author said, VDH won't work with Dailymotion, what would be a better downloader for that site?

    Thank you.

  3. Hi biezom, and many thanks for that. I've downloaded youtube-dl to my E drive but have not been able to work out how to run it. I've tried Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt and then typed every variation of E:\youtube-dl but with no luck.

    Using the Windows Key/R seems promising at first as it asks if I'm sure I want to run the program but the wee black screen disappears in the blink of an eye.

    I've done some reading about PATHs and such but it's very complex. Can you tell me in simple terms what I need to do? Many thanks.

  5. Many thanks. I can see what you've done up to the "-o". After that, you've started using capital letters and disregarded 'shortfilms'. Is the text after -o just a filename i.e. anything at all or is there a required structure.

    And will the file be saved to E? My continued thanks...

    yes in E:\

    but you can choose where you want
    example if the folder E:\download\videos\ exists you can wrtite

    Code:
    youtube-dl "http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x30nnpj_fantastic-four-review-cinefix-now_shortfilms" -o "E:\download\videos\Fantastic-Four-Review-CineFix-Now-youtube-dl.mp4"
