Hey all,

I love the tool and was hoping if someone could advise whether this is possible. Whenever I go to a page and want to download the video on it using the (Firefox) browser plugin most the time there's anything from three to 15 options for things to download. 99% of the time the one you want is the one with the largest file size.

I was wondering if there was a way to make it so the largest file was always the first one in the plugin menu? I couldn't see a way but maybe I'm blind.

Thanks all.

I think VDH already does this but it's not based on the file size. The file size is not
always something that is known up front. But the resolution usually is. VDH sorts its
menu in descending order of resolution. Perhaps you can provide some screenshots of
cases in which this is not true. Include the URLs of the web pages on which you obtain
these results. Understand that I am just another user, not part of the VDH company. But
if you provide such examples, I'm sure it would be helpful to the devs.
