What VSO Downloader is
VSO Downloader 6 downloads media from internet streaming sources and browser pages on Windows and macOS. Users can enter a URL, scan the clipboard, or use Radar mode, which adds detected media while browsing and playing it. Authentication settings support account-protected videos, with Vimeo documented as an example. Download controls include video-resolution and subtitle-language selection, and subtitle downloads are supported. Media can be converted to MP4, MKV, MOV, or MP3. Filtering options cover media size, MIME type, forbidden headers, and advertisements. VSO states that DRM-protected video, including Netflix examples, cannot be downloaded. The free plan costs nothing and is revocable; an Ultimate paid license unlocks features limited in that version, while one-year and lifetime plans are listed without prices. The license agreement describes 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, and version history lists Intel and Apple Silicon Mac builds. VSO identifies itself as a French software company located in Toulouse.
