Yes, it's supposed that some videos should only be streamed. It's also supposed that internet connections don't abandon us halfway through, and that the codecs and formats used by major providers won't murder more modest computers… but that still happens. So, the solution for many users is to download videos and play them locally. If you need to know how to download any video from the Web, the Chrome extension called Video Downloader Professional will help you.
Audio and video streaming is one of the most important resources the modern Web offers, but sometimes it becomes a nightmare. Quality and stability issues, packet loss, frames that get lost along the way, video trapped in an awful kind of break dance… no user deserves that. That gives rise to video downloading tools, which eliminate the problem at its root and enable local playback. Recently Edgardo shared with us two valuable programs to download Vimeo videos, however, today we have at our disposal a broader spectrum alternative.
How to download any video from the Web with Video Downloader Professional
The process is very simple: go to the Google Chrome extensions store, download a copy of Video Downloader Professional, let it install, visit the site with the video you want to download, and click the arrow that appears in the interface. There are no advanced options, no proxies, or anything like that. Video Downloader Professional will automatically detect all available resolutions, and it's compatible with several formats, including MP4, MOV, and WebM. If the download isn't direct and the video opens in a new tab, all you have to do is right-click and choose Save Video.
Video Downloader Professional works very well, but all these extensions carry a bit of fine print. The surprise of Video Downloader Professional is that its developers have been forced to remove YouTube support, because moderators immediately eliminate any downloader that allows downloading from there. Apart from that, its installation is definitely worth it. Now, if your priority is audio, remember that you can record the sound of a tab, or as a nuclear option, download a complete website.
