First of all, I want to thank the developers for a useful utility, it often helps me out when I need to save videos from the network for my archive, but sometimes there are problems with unsuccessful file uploads
Some Youtube videos are interrupted downloading in Firefox browser before agregating with the message
Some Youtube videos are interrupted downloading in Firefox browser before agregating with the message "Could not get information from media '....' from file 'C: \ Users \ .... \ Temp \ ...... tmp'. The file might be corrupted." or "Failed aggregating "...- YouTube""
At the same time, errors of the type are indicated in the detail as follows:
[mov, mp4, m4a, 3gp, 3g2, mj2 @ ...] could not find corresponding trex
[mov, mp4, m4a, 3gp, 3g2, mj2 @ ...] error reading header
C: \ Users \ ..... \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ .... tmp: Invalid data found when processing input
(in this message I replace meaningful information with three dots).
Is there any way to fix this situation or does this error mean that such a video cannot be downloaded in Firefox as well as in Chrome?
Thank you respectfully.

Sometimes, you just need to close all browser windows & try again. I've had instances on
occasion when that worked. But I don't want to oversell it. It's not often.

Surely somebody here can help you but first you need to post a proper problem report.
Take a look in here:

You'll find a couple of references in there that mention how to report a problem. Read
those & then post the details as explained there. Then there's a chance someone can help
you.

Also, you will never be able to download from YouTube using Chrome. In the thread I cite
in my previous post, look for a reference to the VDH license. Read that & you'll see
what I'm talking about.

Thank you very much for your attention and help. The selection of solutions you referred to made it much easier for me to find solutions and understand the problem.
I also resort to the same method, disable other extensions (except for antivirus) and restart the browser when downloading or building the file fails, and this helps in some cases. Before that, I also consistently tried to use those format options for processing that are offered in the drop-down list under the VDH icon, and sometimes this list differs depending on how long the playback has been open, it seemed to me that new options appear in the list, some Of these, sometimes it is possible to record, although there are cases when only the audio track is reproduced in the recorded file, and since I use VDH to save various training webinars of distance courses, in some, the audio content is sometimes quite enough.
