ThisVid to MP4: Save Videos in HD (Free, No Watermark)
TL;DR
Saving a ThisVid video as MP4 is straightforward: a downloader grabs the original video stream and writes it into an .mp4 container without re-encoding, so quality matches the source. downloadxAI's ThisVid downloader saves in original quality — MP4 HD download is launching soon, and the link checker works today.
What "ThisVid to MP4" actually means
People search "convert ThisVid to MP4" as if the site stores some exotic format. In practice, ThisVid — like most tube sites — already delivers video in MP4-compatible streams. A downloader's job is mostly remuxing (repackaging the stream into a file), not converting. That's why downloads can be fast and lossless at the same time.
How to save a ThisVid video as MP4
- Copy the video URL from ThisVid (share → copy link).
- Paste it into the downloader's input box — e.g. downloadxAI, our free ThisVid to MP4 tool.
- Select MP4 (original / source quality). Avoid "converter" options that re-encode unless you specifically need a smaller file.
- Download. On desktop the file lands in your Downloads folder; on iPhone it goes to Files → Downloads.
Quality options, honestly explained
| Label | What it really is | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Original / Source | The exact stream ThisVid serves | Always, if storage allows |
| 1080p / 720p | Same stream, resolution-capped | Good default for most users |
| 480p / 360p | Downscaled, smaller file | Slow connections or previews |
| "4K enhanced" | Upscaled from the source | Never — adds size, not detail |
If the source video is only 720p, a "1080p download" is just the 720p stream upscaled — no new detail appears.
Muxing, codecs, and the silent-video trap
Some platforms split video and audio into two streams for faster playback. Saving only the video stream gives you a silent MP4. Proper downloaders detect this and merge (mux) the streams automatically. If you ever get a silent file, that's what happened — re-download with the merged option. MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio plays on virtually every device ever made, which is why it remains the default.
Troubleshooting
- Download fails at 0%: the link likely needs a fresh copy — ThisVid links can expire or be session-bound.
- File won't play: it may be incomplete. Delete and re-download rather than trying to repair.
- Huge file for a short video: you grabbed a high-bitrate original; that's normal for HD sources.
Bottom line
MP4 is the right target format — universal, lossless when remuxed, and playable everywhere. Grab the original quality and skip re-encoders. When downloadxAI's full downloader launches, this whole flow takes under a minute.
