Hello everyone,

for a few weeks now, I have been unable to download videos successfully: the audio is always fine, but the videos only have sporadic jerky frames and pixelation. I have tried the default settings of the DownloadHelper extension without success. Multiple players exhibit the same behavior (VLC, Movies & TV, Media Player…). Does anyone have an idea?"

Thanks

You need to provide some more information like your OS and browser as well as the website. Not just the site name but a link to a video.

There's a lot in that discussion, basically it boils down to 2 options. Try to download it another way or produce a repaired  file at correct
frame rate. See if you can grasp it or not.

Important :  when you reply delete everything after clicking the show quoted text button.

Found a solution: https://clipgrab.org/ is able to download vimeo videos with correct frame rate.
First I tried to repair frame rate by using https://www.xmedia-recode.de/: Doesn't work correctly.

Thank you mjs for helping to find the problem!
