File uses unsupported compression type "vp09".

I'm actually not quite sure if OVD was built for compatibility with Premiere but I'd like to know if this is a common issue and if it possibly has any solutions.

Whenever I download (video), or (video + audio) from the downloader, Adobe doesn't appear to recognize the video segment, and the error message it always gives me goes as follows: Unable to import video (video name) File uses unsupported compression type "vp09".

Reproducing this behavior:

1. Use the downloader for anything video-related
2. Find the video in the media browser
3. When opening the folder of its location, an error message will appear in the bottom left of the screen, stating: Unable to import video (video name) File uses unsupported compression type "vp09".
4. Video will be unable to be dragged into the timeline

Preview of the video in the media browser won't render the video's thumbnail:

Audio seems to be unaffected by this issue in general:

I'd like to receive some feedback to what is hopefully an easy fix.

Premiere doesn't support vp09, no matter what downloader you use. You have to download video using avc codec or use some not Adobe encoder like ShutterEncoder to convert your vp09 video to other codec which Premiere can read.

FYI - you get the option to select the codec after enabling it in the settings:
