Since I downloaded Firefox 4, the download helper is failing to convert the videos. Anyone have a fix?

After downloading the update to Firefox 4, I have noticed that the download helper keeps giving me an error message that says "video failed to convert". Never had this happen on the other versions of Firefox. Anyone experienced this?

Go to Tools | Add-ons | Extensions and click the button next to the search field at the top and then choose "Check For Updates".

If there isn't one, I'd suggested a visit to their support site @ Video DownloadHelper Support

Alternatively, install this freebie which will convert anything to anything else: Quick Media Converter
