About DASH Stream Downloader
Many websites deliver video using MPEG-DASH, but saving those streams normally means wrestling with command-line tools and stitching segments by hand. Our extension eliminates that complexity entirely. It monitors pages for MPD manifests and presents available qualities in a simple list.
Just pick your preferred resolution and bitrate, and the extension fetches every segment automatically. It handles separate audio and video adaptation sets, synchronizing them perfectly during the merge. You get a single, ready-to-play MP4 file without any technical knowledge.
Whether you're saving training videos, conference recordings, or any DASH-based content, the process is streamlined. The extension works quietly in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Short, practical feedback from people using DASH Stream Downloader in real workflows.
Saved me from learning ffmpeg for corporate video archiving
I needed to archive training videos from our corporate LMS that uses DASH streaming. This extension parsed the manifests and downloaded everything as clean MP4s. Saved me from learning ffmpeg just for this task.

Quality selection and A/V merging work cleanly
The quality selection is excellent. I can see exactly which bitrate and resolution each DASH rendition offers and pick the one I want. The audio/video merging works cleanly for the streams I saved.

Handles long conference recordings without extra fuss
We use this for archiving conference recordings from a platform that serves everything via DASH. The batch queue handles multi-hour sessions without any desyncs or dropped segments.
