There are plenty of resources linked in the sidebar.
The paid way to do this is is to buy something like Streamfab to download the stream directly from the source. Note for the most part you will be limited to 720p/1080p. Another paid software that used to be around was Redfox AnyStream but they went offline last year.
Only private trackers / scene would know about 2160p / 4K downloads and they’re not going to share publicly about their methods.
The free method is to attempt to do the video capture yourself (see earlier comments) rather than download the stream itself.
Of course for the most part tons of content has already been downloaded by others and made available via torrents, DDL, etc.
Do you have a GPU. Use its software to screen record.
Usually DRM detects the obvious stuff/access like OBS/Nvidia Shadow Play and either kills the recording or you have a black window.
There are ways if you know what your doing
That’s true for everything. From building a computer, cracking DRM over building a rocket.
But first you need to get that knowledge.
While I haven’t tried this myself; I’ve been told streaming to a web browser that’s running in a VM will let you screen record the VM from the host machine.
If you try to just screen record the browser directly with screen cap software; the DRM + graphics drivers will prevent the recording from seeing the video, it’ll just show as an empty black rectangle. Supposedly this doesn’t work against a VM displayed to its host though.
Oh, that’s clever.
If it’s for preservation they should probably look into tape or optical storage. Realistically your friend is not doing it for preservation considering that there are way better equipped individuals and organisations for that (the BBC for example).
I really don’t get why people have started to say that they only do it for preservation like they run a museum or an archive. Come on man, that movie is available literally everything and your hard drive will fuck up the storage of the files long before humanity losses access to that movie.
I download movies because I like free movies.
Is this a request for a guide on setting up torrenting and arrs or cracking Amazing Prime DRM? (=is the show available on the high seas or not)
