How to screen-record blocked videos

[NotZBoy18]

Hello -

I have 3 screen recording programs - but they are unable to capture some videos because they are being blocked by the owners (Utube & @mazon - those BASTARDS! ) from being recorded. So the best I get is the video's audio & a black screen.

Is there a way around this to record the videos?

I am running Windows 10 - and I have searched Google for a possible answer - but have stumbled on one yet.

Many thanks - as always

Maybe OBS Studio can help you.

You typically need different tools depending on the site.

For normal streaming, like webcams, I use Replay Media Catcher. For streaming services such as Netflix or Amazon, I use Playon.

Firefox with Video Download Helper has always worked for me.

Unfortunately - nothing has worked so far

DVDFab can now do streaming videos as well.

Screen recording option in quicktime player has always worked for me. I have a mac. Maybe windows' version also has this option.

I think your problem may be down to your OS - i.e. Win 10. I'm not an expert but I experienced the same problem when I bought my first Win 10 PC. After some research it appears that Win 10 introduced some kind of blocking to prevent DRM content from being screen recorded. You can record the audio but the video will be just black screen. So if the material you are trying to record is DRM protected then that is probably why you can't record.

I can screen record desktop actions, or say an .mp4 file playing in full screen mode playing in PotPlayer without any problems on my Win 10 machine, but as soon as I go near any DRM protected content it just black screens the recording. I've tried using a variety of screen recorders on Win 10 and none of them work.

I haven't found a solution for this, so I now do all screen recordings of DRM protected content on my old Win 7 machine. Really glad I didn't send it to the recycle centre when I bought my new PC.
