IDM Video Download Helper

We all have some form of multimedia content on our drives, so having a multimedia helper of sorts at one's disposal doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. Especially with the audio and video content you download from the web, looking to do different operations on those files isn't all that uncommon.

Seeking to help those who use Internet Download Manager (IDM) — but not only — to download their media content from the web, IDM Video Download Helper comes forth with a set of functions to make managing your multimedia better. Users can merge different video and audio streams, extract the audio from a video, combine segmented videos into a single file, and more.

Much like its sibling, this solution goes for a functional approach with its interface, where what you see is what you get. The functions are all laid out clearly, and you'll essentially know where to go to access a feature after a few minutes with the program. Merging video and audio streams, concatenating M3U8 segments, extracting audio from video, and converting video and audio streams are the main features on offer here, as presented through the app's tab-based layout.

Merging two separate video and audio streams is facilitated by the program, and it's as easy as inserting the video and audio files you wish to combine. Such a process won't take long at all, and the same is true when you want to combine M3U8 and other audio files, or extract the audio stream from a video.

The tool even comes equipped with a video player of its own, which will allow you to play your content right away.

As mentioned earlier, users have the option to extract the audio from a clip. You can choose the format you wish to save the audio file, as well as its fidelity. Cutting the audio stream so that only the bits that are of interest to you are extracted is also possible.

Converting audio and video is another available feature, and besides offering some options you'd expect, such as being able to choose between different formats and codecs, additional advanced options can be accessed. These will allow you to modify the resolution, frame rate, bit rate, as well as the audio channels, their sample and bit rate, and so on.

Outside of that, a few video tweaks can be made: you can rotate and flip your footage, as well as apply some effects, such as grayscale.

IDM Video Download Helper is a functional piece of software, as it offers users a quite varied toolset to handle a variety of workflows related to their multimedia.
