We have covered about the various video downloader extensions for Google Chrome earlier and got a good response from users. However, most of those extensions were mostly based on Youtube and did not supported other popular video sharing sites, until i came across this one.
Video Downloader For Chrome – Download From Multiple Sites
Video Downloader For All Sites is a neatly made extension which integrates seamlessly with your Google Chrome browser. The whole process of getting the download link from various popular video sharing sites is very quick and neat with minimal issues.
Once the extension installs, you get a nice browser action icon as is now a trademark of Google Chrome, clicking on the icon opens a small box in the browser itself which asks you to provide the URL of the video which you want to download. Once its supplied, the extension gets the download link from the site and provides you with a couple of video format in which one may download the file (as seen in the screenshot).
As of now, the extension supports a lot of popular video sharing sites such as Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Vimeo, Blip, Veoh, Myspace, Google Video, Sevenload, Flickr, Revver, etc.
The extension is still in its development phase, so expect a lot of improvements from the developer.

Thanks Alex, I’m glad i’d made you happy

thank!
I miss something like file automatic naming
does not work on incognito mode.
Is there anyway I can download videos on some links that are not from the mentioned standard video sites.
Currently, I am using firefox plugins, which automatically detect all videos in current page/link and help me to select which one to download.
I am eager to know if this plugin or nay chrome plugin can do the same. Surely, this works with youtube, But I am not able to download many videos in several other sites using this plugin.
Currently, the supported site is limited, unfortunately. In the future will try to add more supporting sites.
Thanks for your comment.

i really like downloadhelper for firefox, i wish there was an equivalent for it in chrome. it was much simpler to use than video downloader, that being said, video downloader seems to be very sufficient, just not as user friendly.
not working lah, still can’t download
you can also use javascript in a bookmark form to get stuff from youtube. here is how: make a new bookmark, and use this for the url to get mp4 version of the video “javascript:window.location.href = ‘http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=’ + swfArgs['video_id']+ “&fmt=18″ + “&l=” + swfArgs['l'] + “&sk=” + swfArgs['sk'] + ‘&fmt_map’ + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + ‘&t=’ + swfArgs['t'];”
and for the flv version “javascript:window.location.href = ‘http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=’ + swfArgs['video_id']+ “&l=” + swfArgs['l'] + “&sk=” + swfArgs['sk'] + ‘&fmt_map’ + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + ‘&t=’ + swfArgs['t'];” hope this helps!
Thanks. But I can’t install this extension
andasnd
Video downloader functionality is still poor. Extension for firefox enables me download any video from any site. I would appreciate same functionality on chrome, in fact, this one addon still keeps me with firefox…
Thankx for effort, I’ll watch the progress.
A new update on the extension is now available for download ( Extension Admin )
I couldn’t get it to work. it says you can try using source code.

All right bruce right on the money!!!! I miss my video download helper. im forced to use chrome because my firefox keeps crashing. I like chrome dont get me wrong. but that one extension separates them both. I need it asap guys!!!. Thanks for listening
Looks well, but I need one that works with livestream.com, any ideas?
@bruce, @tery … the extension is working now. You have to upgrade manually and have java enabled. That’s all.
It doesn’t work with my Chrome 4.1.249.1064 (45376).
Just draws a snake from blues balls and say something like “You need restart your browser…”.
I restarted browser but without any success.
@ Ihar… do you have java enabled?
doesn’t work on AdultSwim.com
This no longer works on Youtube. Every time I try to download something, I get a “Forbidden” message saying I don’t have permission to access it.
Check this one out:

Clean, simple and it even names the vids properly for you.
