I’ve only found TV rips of the series while sailing. Is there a way to download the videos?

I know from experience some of these apps use mac address to enforce the free trial period (e.g., download 3 things for free then be forced to pay). If you have a means to install it in a vm and change the mac…

They’re good apps. I recommend getting it if it’s more that a few things you want to download.

My use case for streamfab was a single season of a show that’s free to stream anyway, just wanted a local copy. I wasn’t a huge fan though…entirely too clunky and error prone for the price.

How do these programs work? Do they just record the stream?

They download the file (which you can usually do with a little Inspect Element action + yt-dlp), but then also decrypt the file.

Most of the big streaming services use Widevine DRM (or at least did at one point, I might be outdated by now), so just downloading the file gives you appropriately-sized gibberish. These apps tend to be expensive because getting around the DRM is usually non-trivial.

Not an option for them.
