Support range, limits, and common failure reasons
Use this section to decide whether the MP4 downloader is the right tool before retrying the same URL.
Supported
Direct .mp4 file URLs
Best for a URL that opens the MP4 file itself, usually ending in .mp4 or returning an MP4 content type.
Chrome extension detection
When a page hides the file URL, use the Chrome extension to detect browser media requests before pasting a direct MP4 link here.
Not supported
M3U8/HLS playlists
HLS streams are split into playlists and segments. Send those M3U8/HLS URLs to the M3U8 Downloader instead of retrying here.
Pages that require cookies or login state
This downloader cannot fetch private page sessions, DRM streams, or websites that only serve media after authentication.
Why a direct MP4 download may fail
CORS blocks browser fetching
Some hosts allow playback on their own site but block cross-origin download requests from another browser page.
Expired or signed URLs
Temporary CDN links can expire quickly. Re-detect the media URL with the Chrome extension, then try the fresh link.
The link is HLS, not a single MP4 file
If the URL points to .m3u8, .m3u, or segmented HLS media, hand it off to the M3U8 Downloader or M3U8 to MP4 converter.
