Why is my download slow?
+
Download speed depends on the video size, quality selected, and your internet connection. Higher quality videos (1080p, 4K) are much larger files and take longer. For faster downloads, choose a lower quality like 480p or 720p.
Is it legal to download videos?

Downloading videos for personal offline viewing is generally considered acceptable in many regions, but redistributing or using copyrighted content commercially is illegal. Always respect the content creator's rights. MediaGrab is intended for personal use only — downloading videos you have the right to access.
Why does the video play in my browser instead of downloading?
+
Some browsers prefer to play video files rather than download them. To force a download, right-click the format button and select "Save link as…". Alternatively, when the video plays in your browser, look for the download icon (⬇) in the video player controls.
