Having problems with the registration process. The instructions say to fill in the info and email details asked on the pop up window when you open program. However on that pop up, I'm given two options for the program I want: Enter registration number or Request Free Full Version. When I click on the latter, nothing happens. When I click on Enter Registration Number, there's nowhere to fill out email address only a space to enter the registration number which I don't have.
I'm a bit bewildered by all this.

I installed the program, then a form started to collect name and e-mail address, then the click shows the Activation key instantly. When the program is started, a form prompt to enter the key from the clipboard shows. The key is entered as expected but the "Check and activate license key" returns a message "The entered License key is invalid" but the key is exactly what was given by MovieSaver 4.

I find the free video download helper ad-on for Firefox works on the Pale Moon browser very well it adds a button to my toolbar and see no need to switch
I also have the ad-on Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express for the odd time it won't work. This ad-on adds a download button under every you-tube video.
As I write this I see today's offer has 66% negative vote so won't try it.

its in german?

Thanks for this offer, but I'll stick with ChrisPC VideoTube Downloader, which I use for long time now to get my YT videos and TV shows:

Wow, Engelman products ,not suprised at all of all the down votes, after all that set up to install, tested on a couple of online videos, just very low res quality and mediorce as expected!
I remember the last Engelman product on here, last year, was their product CinemaHD, also mediocre quality, resulted videos tested on were all thrown out of sync, only with their products, no tohers tried.
Emailed 3 diff Engelman depts with inquiries, since their support did not bother to respond, not one Engelman dept ever bothered to respond. One of the most horrible companies ever dealth with.
They do not support or help with their shabby products, they only want your email to keep Spamming you to buy their other shabby products.
*Try 4K Downloader completely free, they respond, and have far better quality that Engelman's low quality products!

The program installed easily on Win10 64-bit and registered with no issues. I downloaded this program hoping I could save videos from Facebook to my laptop but this program gives the message "This portal is not supported."

Installed easily enough on W10 64 bit, even though the registration process is a little more long winded than it could be.

Downloaded the latest ffmpeg and added the location in settings.

Tested out a variety of Youtube videos and was very impressed with the speed of the download.

A 3 hour 4gig 720p download only took 15 minutes.

No conversion process seems to take place for video and when converting to MP3, you don't notice any additional processes to convert.

Even if you choose a desired output, such as 720p, any downloaded video that is not available at that resolution does not get up scaled, which can be both an advantage ,or disadvantage dependent upon your point of view.

There is no list of compatible sites and on testing found very few at all that were compatible.

Of the popular ones, only Youtube and Dailymotion seemed to work.

The vendor needs to address things in one of two ways.

Either support far more sites or gives prospective purchasers a list of sites than can be used.

So for Youtube it is very effective and I found it faster than any of the free offerings that I have tried.

But there is an opportunity and need to expand it's versatility.

After trying and using some Engelmann software products, my observation is that they are not up to standard.
From the other users comments in this forum, it looks like MovieSaver4 is similarly low standard software.
Not sure if Engelmann sub-contracts out is software writing to an OEM software house - maybe somewhere in India for very low cost of production reasons.

"Freemake Video Downloader" is free to download and use at Major Geeks or Freeware Files, and as it does the same job quickly and efficiently, I see no reason to switch for a "one year licence" of this product. Sorry but I'll have to pass today.
But keep those programs coming "Giveawayoftheday"!
I love this site!
It makes my morning...

Thank you for the offer and I'm sure it will be very helpful for some users..

Personally, I have been using JDownloader very successfully for some time and as it is stable, easy to use and free, I see no real advantage in changing.

I like this program. Seems to work fine, and it's filling a need I have. It installed very easily. Registration was a 3-step process, but nothing horrible, and I received all needed registration info and codes in a timely manner. Thanks very much, GAOTD and Engelmann Media!

Make registration easier by having only one box into which you can simply copy the whole key & paste it into it at once. Instead of having to break it down & having to copy/paste each segment seperately until all boxed have been filled.

With a title implying that it's more than just another video down loader, 'MovieSaver 4' looks like being a must-have. Unfortunately, it very soon turns out to be a must-discard.

Download, install and registration proved cumbersome, a rigmarole of emails and website re-directs and then a pure 1990's floppy-disk era licensing routine where a 30-strong alphanumeric has to be sequentially entered in blocks of five. The thought occurs at that stage that if Engelmann can't even manage non-sequential C & P, there may not be much hope of it managing anything else.

Actual installation is straightforward enough though was slooooow in my case and not especially informative: after the computer has yet again had to connect to the Net so as to get your registration approved, you're asked to tick a box to start the "full version" (because what you've installed is, apparently, MovieSaver FREE) but nothing re-starts at all.

As I normally shut down and re-start all newly installed software, that's no big deal, but it is yet another irritant in the elongated process of getting to grips with MovieSaver. Be careful to select your language preference on install and to uncheck the auto updates box in Settings; ensure the 'automatically convert to MP3' is likewise unchecked.

After all that, I chose my output destination, went to YouTube, and ran two tests, the first of a download of Justified: 'That's A Wrap' Gag Reel (at 9 minutes running time, it's long enough to test the speed and stability of any video downloader) and the next, The Good, Bad and the Ugly Theme Ennio Morricone, this to see how well MovieSaver4 strips out the audio from the video to produce an MP3 track.

That was an hour ago. I'm still waiting. MovieSaver 4 took the first url, correctly rendered it as the Justified clip, reported the download as 'Pending' in the Status box . . . and went to sleep. Not a sign of life in the progress box. I gave it 20 minutes to arouse from slumber and, next, pasted in the Morricone soundtrack clip. Again, MovieSaver4 rendered the url accurately, reported the download as 'Pending' . . . and went back to sleep.

It's still asleep on my screen as I write this. During this lengthy inertia -- coma, more likely -- I've run my personal favorite iSkySoft iTube Studio to check there aren't any DLing problems with YouTube. The iSkySoft app -- a giveaway on here in the past -- downloaded both clips in under 3 minutes total. As for freeware, I used the excellent Firefox browser add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/youtube-video-and-audio-dow/

which does everything that the Engelmann MovieSaver4 seemingly can't do and does so for nothing at all -- as has occurred here, one click on the little icon added by this app underneath a YouTube playing window and that's it, video downloaded to desktop in under 30 seconds.

(Note: I have no idea if the Open Source YouTube Video & Audio Downloader is compatible with other browsers.)

Conclusion, then: nothing in this software's registration and install routine inspires confidence and nothing at all occurred in its operation to suggest that it is even worth bothering with. This developer has disappointed me before with the q

Also,MovieSaver 4 was given away on GOTD May 4, 2014.Might want to read the comments from that GiveAway....... https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/moviesaver-4/

The installation was very slow on Win 8.1, it crashed 3 times
The software does what it says and the interface is nice and uncluttered.
I'll keep it for now, thanks GOTD!

I downloaded the compressed package, and unzipped it, then I submitted them to WinDefender, SuperAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, EmsiSoft Emergency Kit: no problems detected.
I submitted the setup.exe to virustotal, metadefender, Jotti and virscan: only fprot on virscan found W32/Felix:EX:001!Eldorado, and I consider it a false positive.
The setup worked fine on windows 10 x64 (standard/home).
When the installation finished, it opened a developer's webpage saying "You may also be interested in the following products" (and other things).
It also opened directly its WebReg.exe application to register the product.
Given that my firewall blocks every outgoing connections, I got this message "currently no service available or internet connection is broken.".
I put the WebReg.exe in the exceptions of my firewall (tcp port 80), then I restarted the webreg.exe and got the correct form to insert my data.
The program (moviesaver4.exe) needed another firewall rule (tcp port 443).

I would find useful to have a list of supported websites, either in the program itself or in the website (but then, each new version should have its new list).

I hope the registration this time will remain: CinemaHD registration (1st january 2016) isn't valid anymore, I don't know why... It was invalid after a few of days.
I'm keeping this program and I'll use it later.
Many thanks GAOTD and Engelmann Media GmbH !

Primitive tool!
