VSO Downloader 6.4.0.160

VSO Downloader

VSO Downloader is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that downloads video and audio streams from websites, including live streams, complete playlists and subtitles. It supports sources such as YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Facebook, and the developer states that it works with almost any website.

Adding Media

Links can be added by pasting them into the address bar or by dragging them directly onto the program window. An automatic detection mode finds media on web pages and adds it to the list, while a clipboard scanning mode recognizes copied links and adds them without further input. A scan function also detects media content in any browser.

Features

• Playlists: Playlists can be managed as groups of files.
• Live streams: Live streams can be recorded.
• Subtitles: Multiple subtitles can be embedded in a video, and subtitles linked to the original video are retrieved automatically.
• Quality selection: The desired resolution can be chosen before a download starts.
• Conversion: Downloaded video and audio files can be converted into common formats.

Supported Formats

Input video formats include MP4, MKV, WebM and MOV, along with others depending on the source. Video output is available as MP4, MKV or MOV, and audio output as MP3. Subtitles are only available when they are supplied with the source video. DRM-protected content from services such as Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ is not supported.
