I recently downloaded videos from twitter and found out that they were corrupted

Hi HLX,
this is not JDownloaders' fault:
This video can be played in Chrome but fails in Firefox and also when you're [manually] downloading it via browser (tested with: VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player).
Direct URL to the vide for testing:

video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1704654962834214912/vid/avc1/1280x720/50-birosgYs_rDGX.mp4?tag=14

Twitter is using a so called "iso5 header marker" for this video which is unsupported by many video players.
ffmpeg can remux it
Example command:
ffmpeg -i NP5ZADHZ6Ss29OFh.mp4 -c copy test.mp4

Possible workaround:
1. Stop all downloads in JD and do Rightclick on that video -> More -> Reset
2. Go to Settings -> Plugins -> twitter.com -> Enable setting "Videos: Prefer HLS over http download?"
3. Now try downloading the video again. If you are lucky, the video will be downloaded with another internal container format now.
EDIT
I just wanted to confirm that this workaround is working fine for your particular video.

Thank you. I was able test both of your solutions and they work

Each one has advantages and disadvantages:
Prefer HLS over http -> Advantage: Automatic & Disadvantage: Very slow
Manually converting using ffmpeg -> Advantage: Very fast & Disadvantage: I have to convert each file manually (there is probably a way to do it for an entire folder)

I had to investigate how to install ffmpeg but it was worth it to learn. I was also able to reproduce the videos by dragging and dropping them on chrome; it failed on firefox as you mentioned. I couldn't figure out what you mean by manually download via browser. I managed to find the directlink by looking at the linkcollector.zip. I don't know if that's what you meant

Anyway, thanks for what you've thaught me

I forgot to ask. The thing called "iso5 header marker" is not supported by installing some codec or something? I couldn't find any information on it

Now only slower but that method also doesn't support resuming stopped downloads.

You could also automate it 100% e.g. using an EventScripter script.

If you open the direct-URL I provided in your browser and then press CTRL + S, your browser will ask you where to save/download it.

No that's not what I ment.

No idea.
As said it looks to be a new/rate container format which is not yet widespread as even VLC media player can't handle it.
