Frequently asked questions
Can it download a private Rutube video?
No. Private videos are visible only to their owner, so an anonymous request cannot reach the media.
Why does a Rutube link fail from another country?
Some titles are geo-restricted. If the page refuses to serve your region, the download cannot proceed.
Are long programmes supported?
Yes, when they are public. Long files take longer, and the two-hour retention clock starts once the file is created.
Does it capture Rutube livestreams?
No. Live broadcasts are not saved; use an archived recording instead.
