At youtube if it is a direct browser builtin download (FG options) the file names are there.If it is thru DAP it gives a cryptic video1 ,video2 etc...

There are various "name" options (details escape me) that could help.
Some download managers are not able to be passed a "name". Perhaps DAP is one such?
flashgot.media.guessName is one. Might try toggling that value & see if DAP sees differently.
flashgot.media.forceNameHack is another.

Both are true in my case.Does Orbit work better? Or what else...

Had you switched the flashgot.media.forceNameHack
about:config preference to false?
If so, please toggle it back to true.

Infact from other sites I get the names of the files.It is only with Youtube I notice the behavior.

Unfortunately looks like Orbit fixed a "bug" which allowed the name hack to work
I'm not sure about what other download manager can support it.
The FNAME placeholder for custom download manager and some Linux DM definitions (WGet, cURL) do, but they've got other limitations...

Can't understand why FG>>Orbit combine would not work for Youtube alone. It works for p*** sites well. Just beats my imagination...
