That way I don't have to leave my browser to get video; I usually use the HTML5 player (which works great on OpenBSD, btw) and only use Video DownloadHelper for those videos that don't have an HTML5 option.

As a benefit, it works in places other than YouTube.
Thanks for the info. Yeah - I usually use Chromium (and its built in VPx decoder). That means I can view about one in four movies and clips. Wonder why YouTube isn't converting to Webm enmasse, given that they own the platform now?

Another one of those things I can't quite factor out ....
