How to Download Videos Online
The Video DownloadHelper, which also has a feature called Smart Naming, can be used to accomplish this. It allows for the automatic renaming of the video file that is downloading from the video page’s text. Smart names are defined on a per-domain basis. When smart naming is enabled, the name of the file comes from the name of the containing page.
Go to the page where the video you want to download is located and use your mouse to select a word in the title to define it. Keep in mind that it is preferable to choose a word from within the title rather than from the beginning or the end. Right-click and choose DownloadHelper smart name.
