Download movies the old fashioned way

Hello,
I just "migrated" from Opera 12.18 to 49.
In the old version, movies were downloaded with the normal file extension (mp4, flv etc) I could watch them while they were downloaded by just double clicking in Opera's download window. Now the new version downloads them with an additional extension of opdownload, and a double click returns something like "opening in xx minutes".
How can I configure Opera to omit that "opdownload" file extension, and work like the old version.
Thanks!

You can't.

If I'm not wrong, it's a subextension until the download finishes.

"Open with" OS dialog may work using VLC or any other similar player.

You are correct, after downloading that additional extension is removed.
I tried "open with", but in the download window there was no right-mouseclick option.
(Of course, I can do that in the normal windows explorer, but that was not my question)
Anyhow, thanks for your response!

That suggestion it's only for Android and Youtube - despite the PC option, you need BluStacks or Memu -, @dasimbg is asking about Opera Desktop version.

Anyway,
Someone may want to test it.
