I can't download a streaming video

[Filipe Estima]

This is the site from where I am attempting to download a video. All I get is a HTML file with .mp4 extension. I am a licensed user, by the way.

What country does this site belong to ? It looks like the content is geo restricted as nothing plays.

The Video DownloadHelper does not have a ability to download streaming video which explains why you see HTML file, you need a extension thats download streaming video, you can try  FetchV:Videos Downloader(HLS/m3u8/mp4/blob) if you using Microsoft Edge browsers.

Of course VDH can record livestreams. It can also download videos that are presented as
HLS streams. I've done both many times. I don't know where you get your information but
it's wrong.

In the case of the web site mentioned by the original poster, I am getting a message that
says the content is not available in my geographic region. Perhaps some detail
explaining what you have tried, what results you have gotten, a few screenshots would be
helpful. Also tell us what environment you're using. Example:

Windows 7 64-bit, Firefox 107.0.1 64-bit, licensed VDH 7.6.5a3 beta, CoApp 1.6.3

The website is designed for brazilian visitors. I guess a foreign visitor needs a VPN capable of faking their IP address to pass as coming from my country.

I'm using Windows 10 64-bit, Chrome, licensed VDH  7.6.3.3

After getting a vpn it looks like it works in Firefox. However it is a under 2 hours and 1200 MB  file size so quit after 5% of the download.

Thanks mjs, I downloaded Firefox and added VDH extension to it. I had to try download the movie 4 times, because it was always interrupting the download at some point, before completion. Finally I was able to get it fully.
