Unfortunately I have to screen record as I want edited content, unless you know of a place I can torrent edited content then you would be a life saver

I like to watch edited movies, and I edit them via browser extensions (Clear Play) or through other sites (VidAngel) where they edit them while streaming them. So you're definitely right - that would be easier, but for what I am trying to accomplish unfortunately screen recording seems like the best option...

Thanks, I'll check it out

That's an interesting idea, I will give it a try and see if it works and report back here.

If anyone knows if it's easy to get around HDCP protected streams and record them on a Mac that would be awesome to know. I'm considering purchasing a mac mini and trying it on MacOS...

All good, bummer it's so difficult.

By hardware equipment do you mean just a stronger CPU / GPU?

I actually only use the PC for recording content so no other tasks are active aside from Bandicam which is recording the stream.

If I enable Hardware Acceleration then Bandicam records a "black box" the content streaming from Prime Video is protected and I can't capture it. So that has to be turned off in order for this to work. Although it does seem to help the stuttering... I am using h.264 as well with NVENC from the GTX 1050 TI.

Do you know of another way to get around DRM and be able to screen record content from sites like Amazon Prime Video?

 

I’m currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it’s really annoying. So I’m wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.

Obviously there are DRM issues, those can be fixed on windows by turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser. Is it easy to get around DRM on Mac?

Anyone have any experience or know where I can go to get help/talk about it with people?

System Specs: Intel Core i5 10400 GTX 1050 TI 16gb Ram 500gb SSD (for OS) and another 1tb SSD for recordings

I use Bandicam to record my Edge browser. Prime is a bit smoother when I make sure my PC is not running on efficiency mode, but still stutters a bit.

Netflix and Apple TV only run in 720p or worse, can't get them to get to 1080p which is my target. I have to use a 4k monitor to get Prime to play at 1080p.
