Record movies, series and videos from streaming

Find, record, save and convert music, videos, TV, radio and more from streaming services

Amazon, Netflix, Disney+ and Paramount+ provide their own self-produced movies and series as video streaming by means of a fee-based service. You can read here which video streams can be recorded with Audials.

Audials does not attempt to circumvent copy rights, but instead creates legal private copies by recording the streamed content exclusively from legal sources.

All Major Video Streaming Services

Just one click

The key difference from all other tools: Only Audials offers the appropriate configuration (tile) for all major services, which you can use for recording with just one click! For each pre-configured service, Audials recommends whether its website or app is the best recording source. For many video portals, you can also simply copy the URL into the input field or drag and drop it.

The configurations are regularly checked and adjusted by Audials as a service within a generation.

More information about Audials Services

If you use a streaming service that is not pre-configured as a tile in Audials, you can still record it with Other Source / Screen Recording.

Best Quality Recordings

Direct Graphics Card Recording

Most tools record the screen. However, the recording loses quality due to the rescaling of video images.

Only direct recording from the PC's graphics card guarantees the highest quality. This process is technically complex and requires numerous adjustments to browsers and the operating system. Audials delivers recordings of the highest quality.

Adaptive Streaming

To compensate for fluctuations in the recipient’s internet bandwidth, Amazon, Netflix, and other services send video streams divided into segments, which can also be encoded differently. Many tools fail when recording this adaptive streaming.

However, Audials can reassemble the adaptive stream into a complete film after recording, without disturbing artifacts or visible transitions, and save it without loss of quality.

EME DRM and HTML5

Modern video streaming is based on the HTML5 standard. The film, encrypted according to the EME standard (encrypted media extensions), is transmitted, decrypted in the browser by a CDM module provided by the vendor, and forwarded to the graphics card. Audials is 100% compatible with this and records these transmitted video streams for you. Audials does not circumvent any copy protection, but rather creates a legally compliant private copy for personal use, according to copyright law, by re-recording played streaming content exclusively from legal sources.

Graphics Card Encoding

Video recordings push PCs to their limits: Especially high resolutions like Full HD demand high performance, as every single frame of a film must be recorded. At 25 frames per second and a feature film length of 90 minutes, that adds up to 135,000 recordings. Therefore, during Audials’ many years of development, a strong focus was placed on optimization to get the best possible performance from your PC for the best possible recording quality.

Audials encodes on the graphics card, so the processor is less burdened and videos can be handled in even higher quality. Graphics card encoding is supported for the most common graphics cards (Nvidia, AMD, Intel).

Frame Rate

Video streaming can be sent at various FPS (frames per second) rates. Common rates are 25 FPS or 29.97 FPS.

Audials detects the frame rate and, if desired, saves the recording at the precisely matching frame rate. This way, playing back the recording looks exactly like the original.

Perfect Video File

The format of video files is important, as it determines the file size and whether they can be played on end devices.

Audials contains a powerful encoder engine and thus generates all common video file formats such as WMV, MP4, MPEG4, AVI, 3GP, 3G2, FLV, MKV, MOV, H.264, and H.265.

Many device profiles for PC, game console, tablet, and smartphones from various manufacturers are configured in Audials.

In the basic settings, the highest quality is prioritized. Alternatively, a space-saving file size can also be selected.

  • Optimized for high-resolution video content, especially 720p HD and Full HD (1080p)
  • Support for Silverlight-based websites as a recording source
  • Support for Flash-based websites as a recording source
  • Support for all relevant DirectX variants
  • Quality monitoring warns of excessive system load to prevent quality loss
  • Resolution reduction enables video recording of high-resolution content even on weak / old PCs
  • Ad filter detects advertising, marks ad videos, prevents automatic export as a file
  • Records Netflix, Amazon, Disney+ at high speed without quality loss

Record in minutes

Even with high-speed recordings, Audials ensures the highest quality by playing the video at an accelerated speed and saving it frame by frame. This way, you'll have a two-hour movie on your hard drive within half an hour. To do this, set the 4x recording speed in the settings before recording.

Audials plays the video in several segments, records them, and thus you get your video even faster. Amazon Video can be recorded at double speed.

Conveniently Record Series and Movies

Perfect for any browser

Most tools record the screen. However, scaling the video images causes the recording to lose quality.

Only direct recording from the PC's graphics card guarantees the highest quality. This process is technically complex and requires numerous adjustments to browsers and the operating system. Audials delivers recordings in the highest quality.

Record Netflix in Full HD

Thanks to the Audials developers, it is now possible to watch and record Netflix in Full HD (1080p) in Chrome and Firefox browsers or in the internal player, and that without any loss of quality. In the Video Streaming view in Audials, click on the Netflix tile and follow the instructions in the small window that will open. You can also choose whether you want to record in 1080p or if you need 5.1 Surround Sound.

Movie Tag Search Engine

For Netflix and Amazon, Audials automatically adds the movie tags, so you don’t have to change anything!

Audials automatically saves recordings from other sources with the correct name. For these sources, there is a movie tag search engine.

This allows you to enhance new recordings and existing movie files with movie tags. Once a recording is finished, it appears in the top right corner of Audials. Then click on the pencil icon of the file to start the search.

Audials finds the appropriate short description, involved actors, director, genre, and much more on the internet and saves all of this into the movie file for you with a click.

The Recording Scheduler

Any video streams from the internet can be recorded in the highest quality in Chrome and Firefox and saved as MP4, H.264, and other formats with movie tags.

Simply create a list of movies in the Audials Recording Scheduler. To do this, briefly play each movie in your browser, and Audials will register the movie for recording.

Audials then processes the list independently and records all movies for you. This way, Audials automatically provides you with a movie collection. Ingenious, right?

Tip: For series, you don’t need a recording scheduler. Activate the Autoplay function in Netflix and click on the Netflix tile in Audials. And Audials will record the entire season!

Optimize Recordings

Cut Editor and Cropper

Some streaming providers show ads, summaries, or trailers at the beginning of a movie. Audials makes it very easy for you to cut out unwanted content from your recordings. The cut editor also allows you to manually trim frame by frame, so you end up with a perfect video file.

With the cropper, you can just as easily remove annoying black bars from the video. Export your favorite movie scenes as new files while retaining the original video.

Subtitles in all Languages

Audials offers several ways to add subtitles during recording: You can have them displayed by the streaming source and rendered directly into the video, or save them as a subtitle layer. Alternatively, Audials can search the web for subtitles in any language and save them as a separate subtitle layer.

Subtitle Search Engine

After recording, you can use the subtitle search to add subtitles as a layer in any language. Saving the subtitles as a separate layer allows you to view them on other devices, such as your TV. You can also remove them at any time.

Another way to get subtitles is to have them translated in Audials.

Remove Ads with one Click

Audials can detect and cut out annoying ad insertions even during recording. Alternatively, you can remove them later, as Audials automatically marks them for you. This way, you can get rid of them with one click.

Optimal Sound

Sometimes, dialogue in movies is barely audible due to overly loud background noise. If you add a second audio track with Audials, you can adjust the sound to your preference.

Convert and Edit

Convert in the Background

Audials is a valuable tool when it comes to converting many videos into the correct format or making film dialogues more audible with voice enhancement. Simply add all the videos you want to improve to a queue, and Audials will take care of everything for you.

For videos and movies, you can select a device profile optimized for your playback device. This way, you get video files perfectly matched to the screen resolution and performance of your devices – converted with the most suitable output format and without loss of quality.

Apple, Amazon, Android smartphones and tablets, Blackberry, Honor, HTC, Huawei, Samsung, Sony, LG, Microsoft, Nokia, OnePlus

If your device is not listed, you can quickly and easily select the appropriate format using predefined parameter sets. There are also other options:

Create Custom Video Profiles

In expert mode, you can create your own profiles, optimally matched to the performance of your target device. Select the appropriate container and the codec that delivers the best results. Set the desired bitrate and, for videos, the frame rate and size.

Audials sets no limits to your optimization options during conversion. You can either copy and modify existing profiles as a basis for your profile, or create your own profile from scratch.

Among others, the following parameters can be individually defined:

  • The container refers to the output format and file extension of the converted audio or video file. Options include 3GP, 3G2, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, MP4, WMV for videos and FLAC, AAC, AIFF, AU, CAF, M4A, MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, WMApro for audio files.
  • The codec determines how the content of the file is stored. A distinction is made between audio and video codecs, which must be specified for each. For example, in an MP4 file, an MPEG-4 codec can be used for the video channel and an AAC codec for the audio channel. Only with the correct codecs can the output file be played on playback devices.
  • For both audio and video formats, the quality and size of the output files can be adjusted using the bitrate. Possible audio bitrates: 24-320 kbps. Possible video bitrate: 64-29,040 kbps. Alternatively, the original bitrate can also be retained in both cases. Variable bitrates are, of course, also supported.
  • With the frame size, the resolution of the output file is adjusted to suit the end device. The adjustable spectrum ranges from a pixel resolution of 128×96 through various gradations up to 4096×2160 (FullHD) pixels. Retaining the original size or individual sizes are also possible.
  • The frame rate refers to the number of individual images per second. 25 fps (frames per second) are configured as standard. The frame rate can be individually set between 6 and 60 fps.

Enhance Movies

Audials automatically searches for the appropriate tags for recordings from Amazon and Netflix. You can also complete movies and series from other recording sources by using the tag search engine. Audials then searches the internet and provides you with short descriptions, the list of actors, director, genre, and many other pieces of information for saving.

Easy Management

Anyone who edits videos knows that many video versions accumulate on the hard drive over time. Of course, you also want to be able to find the original file. Audials groups all versions of a video together, so you can easily switch between them. Your collection remains well-structured and organized.

Updates

Browser Compatibility

Audials is compatible with the most common internet browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. All internet browsers behave differently when playing content and streaming services.

Therefore, it is important that Audials continuously tests functionality every week, not only ensuring that your video files are always saved in the highest quality, but also recommending the optimal browsers for recording. This service is included within an Audials generation.

Always up to Date!

Streaming services optimize their website, players, and apps from time to time. Internet browsers receive regular updates, and even the Windows operating system reacts differently to these changes or after its own updates.

Audials ensures, week after week, with its free service during an Audials generation, that you can still continue to record.
