9Why can't I download it from a certain website? Why could I download it before, but now I can't?

CocoCut is a universal downloader that can download videos from all web technology-compliant sites, and is not specifically adapted to a single site.

When a site used to be downloadable and then suddenly became unavailable, it is possible that the site modified their video technology.

10Why does the downloaded video appear blurry or discontinuous?
The reason is the same as above, it is recommended to try to use the MP4 file fixer or FFMPEG, or use 'recording mode'.
11Why do I only get images or sound after downloading?

It is possible that the video and audio files on the video website are separate. You can go back to the video playback page, click on the CocoCut extension icon in the top right corner of the browser, and see if you can find the corresponding video/audio files in the file list (you can click the 'Play' icon to see what the file contains). After downloading the video/audio files separately, you can use thevideo-audio merging toolto combine the audio and video files.

It might also be because the video does not conform to web technology standards and uses proprietary or special video technology; in such cases, you can try converting the downloaded video with an MP4 repair tool or a tool like FFMPEG to fix it.

Alternatively, you can try using the 'Recording Mode'.
