Hi, the past couple of weeks, and spcially these past few days, I have downloaded quite a few videos with no audio and I think what they all have in common is that they were hosted in Vimeo, because I have been able to download other videos with audio from other platforms. Here's a link to a vídeo I am tryting to download that every resolution I have tried comes down with no audio: https://thewholejourney.com/programs/gut-thrive/gt-video1/

Other than these videos on this link, I have also dowloaded other videos from subscription pages where you need login details (so I can't provide those links, I'm afraid) with the same problem. In fact either last week or the one before I downloaded about ten of those videos that I had forgotten to download before and they all have this issue, so this is something to do with some sort of update, either on the plugin, on Mozilla or windows.

I am using verios:

VDH: 6.2.0

Firefox:52.0.2 (32 bit)

Windows: 10 Home updated yesterday

Is there a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

PS. I have found the other thread where you suggest we use the new beta version that fixes this, but all the videos downloaded wih that version now have an embeded huge QR code that is very annoying and that never used to be there before. Is it possible to get ri of it? Thanks

Known Problem. The new way DASH Audio and Video are separately streamed from this site.. Team is working on it.
There is a BETA (experimental version).

If you read the details you will see that this method uses the "Converter Plug-in's"  for now.
The converter plugin, unlike VDH itself, is not free, but a commercial plugin, and as such using the it without purchasing a license will watermark the downloaded video.

Hello Brian and Mig. Thank you for the info and for the invaluable work you do. Am I to understand, then, that this issue may be solved in the next version of the programme so we won't need to use the converter? Cause that would be awesome. Thanks

no, allowing the use of the converter IS the fix.

Hi Mig!
I am experiencing the same trouble: No Audio in Vimeo videos!
I have the 6.2 version of VDH and i have also paid for the upgrade, so i can convert files.
But i tried to convert the videos to WMV 4Mb and to AVI 4Mb, but the problem is still there.
What can i do?
Thanks
Josè

To be honest, I can download audio from Vimeo videos only. If you need it, here I can share my successful experience. To download and convert audio from Vimeo losslessly, you can make use of the best audio recorder for Windows, which not only supports to extract audio from Vimeo but also can record songs from YouTube video to MP3, then you will able to listen to them offline on any device freely. Here is an easy tutorial to extract audio from Vimeo.
