Softonic review

Video downloader and organizer

Video Downloader Ultimate is an app designed to help download and organise online video files for later playback. Download videos from all popular content sites, store the result in an easy to use suite and more with a range of features.

Playback anytime

Video Downloader Ultimate claims to be the ultimate all in one solution for video site downloading and storage. As compared to similar free apps and add-ons, the service does bring a large amount of extra features and easy to access tools. The suite works simply in a drop down bar within all of the popular browsers, allowing for simple downloading in seconds. Videos are then organised within the including dedicated software. While Video Downloader Ultimate works well and is certainly and upgrade over free options, many of the best functions, such as downloading and entire YouTube playlist or video conversion, are only available with the most expensive packages. These do come with extra licenses for more users, making the app more suitable for professional or business users.

Mixed bag

Video Downloader Ultimate is a decent overall tool for storing and organizing videos from video sharing services. While it performs better than many of the free options, the high price tag and sliding scale of features make it potentially unsuitable for personal users.

Only for Windows. Uses proxy.
This is not working on Linux. It uses a proxy connectin. The proxy will not be switched off after daownloading unless you do it yourself. They did not answer how they would use the data which is collected or monitored. Better use something else.
Pros:
It automatically detects videos on a page
nice converter function
Cons:
uncertain privacy due to proxy.
not working on Linux
proxy is not turned off automatically after download More
