How can I dowload videos from VK.com

[johnr283]

I used to use the windows version from getvideo.org but I changed PC's and lost the installer. The new version seems to be only in Russian. Is there anywhere to download an old version? getvideo.org even let me download private videos (from groups I'm a member of) by logging in with my VK infi.

If not, are there any alternatives that work?

Hi, if the video that you want to download is public you can try with yt-dlp.

For example:

Thanks. Any way to download private groups?

I've got error [vk] None: Video only available to followers
I'm following the closed group and the member who posted the video.
