We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I could download these videos?

You can try the Video Download Helper plug-in. It's available for Firefox and Chrome.

I've just given this a try, I can download the video easily enough but the audio is all in 93Kb chunks without an obvious indicator as to the order, any idea as to how to automatically grab these in the right order and combine into one file?

I have heard some have had success ripping GCN+ videos using Steamfab and yt-dlp.

Would try it myself but I don't have a GCN+ subscription and they closed sign ups (why would they not accept new users who want a last chance to see their content before shutting down? annoying), hopefully you or someone can get them all before they're gone forever..

Unfortunately not. I just noticed that I'm suffering from the same problem.

I don't have a workaround or solution at the moment.

[–] The-CS-Machine@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I have a solution and have pretty much downloaded them all.

I’m using Stream Recorder.

Great news! Will you happen to be sharing your rips, at least of their original films?

Can't find these videos anywhere (not even purchasable from GCN+ anymore)

[–] The-CS-Machine@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yep. Let me get all the films squared away and I’ll see what I can do.

Would you be willing to share your solution? If not, will just wait if you happen to share the rips!

Worse case scenario HDMI capture it yourself. Couple of trucks isn't a case it's hdcp protected if you know where to look cough DVI bypass cough
