I've always used Video DownloadHelper to save youtube videos. A lot of times when I want to save a video, I'll see some "ADP" choices, and when I try to save that, a popup appears saying I need to install some sort of converter to save that. There's always been some non-ADP choices though, so I never had to install the converter.

Now I guess youtube changed something, because I only see ADP options. For example, see this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFKZ84aV-qw). So when I tried to save the ADP video, VDH told me to install a converter, so I downloaded the one from their web site and installed it.

After installing the converter and trying to save the ADP video, VDH says "Failed aggregating Villanova vs. North Carolina: Game highlights - YouTube". When I click on Details, it says:

Any idea how to save the video?

Are you using the latest version of VDH?

VDH 5.4.2 on Firefox 45.0.1 shows six choices, and only two of them are ADP.

That's strange, I'm running VDH 5.4.2 on Firefox 45.0.1, and I only see ADP options for that video.
