I am using firefox 64.0.2 and video downloadhelper 7.3.5 (both are latest version as of today) and I downloaded a couple of videos in the website and I could downloaded the videos, however, the videos are choppy / stuttering except sounds. How can I fix this problem? The website is

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/series/nova-wonders/episodes/

When I watch these videos online, they are fine, but downloaded videos. Please try to download these videos by the video downloadhelper and watch them, so you will see the choppy / stuttering symptoms.

What codec is used to play these files?

Can you select in VDH what format and resolution you want to download or is there only one choice?

more options

HLS streaming and .mp4 format and I tried several different file sizes such as 960x540, 480x270 so on. But all videos are choppy and stuttering (tiny stuttering every 3 ~ 5 seconds. I don't know "codec" nor VDH. Could you download the videos with the video download helper? Can you watch the videos smoothly without any problems?

I can't access the site videos to even watch due to licensing restrictions (I am in the UK), and get this error message;

"We're sorry, but this video is not available in your region due to rights restrictions."

so I expect the downloader is struggling because they are 'protected' videos and are not supposed to be downloaded at all

So, I am asking someone in the US. Can you download these videos? Can you watch the videos smoothly without problems? I can download these videos with large size and small size, but all videos have stuttering. Please help!

I am sorry for that. When I go to the link site, it asks which local TV channel for PBS you watch, so I am at Kansas City area, I choose "KCPT", then I can watch the videos easily. Do you have any local TV channel for PBS in your area? It is free and I don't need to pay anything. Anyway, please someone help! Thanks!

Thank you for your try. I can watch the episodes nicely online, but the videos I downloaded are choppy / stuttering. "KCPT" channel is fine, but not "TPT", I guess. Can someone in the US help me? Thank you though!

I do wonder if it has something to do with Region locks where if one is another location other than then what is permitted they make the excuse of technical issues.

Thank you for your reply. So, I am asking someone around Kansas City area in the US (KCPT TV channel for PBS), can you watch these videos and download them nicely? Let me know someone please.

Well, no one answers the question so far.

I would say since it hasn't gone well when I tried it would be for you to contact the site your getting the video from about the issue. But I suspect they might have implemented some from of streaming video protection and if your not streaming it doesn't play correctly.
