I have just registered and unable to download any video. It show files into chunks. 
See the image below.  Please give some solution. 
In the settings the minimum size is 4096 then why it still detects such small frames.

The minimum size setting is for ignoring hits below a certain size, 4096 is 4KB. That's not the point though.
This site ( is it a paid subscription site ? ) looks to be sending the media as small pieces and that is what VDH is detecting.
It doesn't look like VDH will work for this video.

There is an alternative which might work using ffmpeg :

The minimum size feature was thought to be repaired.  But we've reported that the fix didn't work.  It's good that you are adding another voice to the chorus.

As mjs already suggested, ffmpeg might be your solution.  It might also be helpful if you posted a proper problem report.  Click this:


Search for "problem report" within the text of that web page.  That will give you a link to click.  Read what you find & follow the advice.  You might get better help.

Hi Wild and mjs, 

It seems that the purpose is not getting solve at least for me - reason could be, because it's Udemy encrypted/small chunk videos. I would like to try with Safari license. 
Can you please initiate the refund?

No, neither mjs nor I can do anything about a refund.  You see, we are both just fellow
users, like you.  You will have to wait for Jérôme to come in here & take care of that.
There is no license for VDH on Safari so you're on your own with that browser.

Meanwhile, how have you gotten on with this advice?

Hi CP,
You have been refunded. Should be available in a few business days.
Regards,
