I use a add-on to download videos from sites youtube-dl doesn't work |
| 37 |
with. I think it is called Video Download Helper. It works pretty |
| 38 |
well. It also allows you to pick what resolution you want if there is |
| 39 |
more than one available. My DSL isn't fast enough for HD videos but I |
| 40 |
can use the download tool to select a HD stream when I want to. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Just another option. |
