How to Download Videos from Streaming Sites like Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and more?

Check the below guide to learn how to use CleverGet to download videos from streaming services including Amazon, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Video.U-Next.jp, Paramount+, etc. Here we would like to take downloading Amazon Prime video as an example. Downloading videos from other streaming services is exactly in the same steps.

Note: Currently, CleverGet could download only one video at a time from these streaming websites. You need to wait for the first video to have been downloaded before you could download a second video.

Step 1: Set Output Directory

Kick off CleverGet and set download directory first. Click the three-dot icon at the top-right corner and then open “Settings” option to pop up detailed settings panel. Under “General” tab, you can set output directory in the “Save Video To” or “Save Audio To” box and change other settings. Checking “Create subfolder for each stream service” option will save online videos in related sub-folder according to video website. Finally, click “Save” button.

Note: You could also adjust program UI language, appearance mode, max download tasks, and New Tab here.

Step 2: Search for Target Videos

You could directly copy and paste Amazon Prime video URL into the address bar to locate target Amazon Prime video for downloading. CleverGet allows you to log into Amazon with your own Amazon account and password. Make sure you have reached the playback page of target video.

Note: For successful video parsing, you need to enter the detail page of Amazon videos and then click to play it back before you let CleverGet start parsing. While on other streaming services, you could directly click the play button on the home page to start playing and parsing target video.

Do not directly click the “Play” button on the Prime home page to let CleverGet Amazon Downloader parse video URL and detect downloadable options. CleverGet will notify you that this URL is not a valid video playback URL for parsing.

Step 3: Select Video and Download

Once you open a video link of these streaming services, you will see the download icon at the bottom right corner. Click it to let CleverGet parse the target video URL. Once CleverGet has successfully parsed the video URL, there will pop up a “Download” interface, which lists all video download options in different quality/resolution, frame rates and sizes. Choose the one to download first, then determine either MKV or MP4 as output, select audio tracks and subtitles to download. You could also decide whether or not to remux subtitles into output video file. After that, click the blue “Download” button to start downloading videos from these streaming sites.

Note: Subtitles will be combined into video for output if you check "Remux into File" option. Otherwise subtitles will be saved in either SRT or SUP format separately.

Step 4: Check Downloading Process

Once the downloading starts, on the right sidebar, there will pop up a sidebar showing you all downloading tasks. You could stop or end downloading task anytime you like.

Click "Close" icon to end and delete the task.

Step 5: Check Downloaded File

When downloading task completes, you can check downloaded files under the “Video” tab of the popup sidebar on the right.

By following the above steps, you could easily download videos from various streaming services like Amazon, Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Video.UNEXT.JP, Paramount+, etc.

A: Generally speaking, CleverGet will automatically download M4SCONVERT.dll file through patching. If the patch doesn't fix this, please download M4SCONVERT.dll file and save it to the installation folder of CleverGet, and then restart CleverGet software.

5. Can I download videos from Netflix.com with my Netflix Basic with ads Plan?

A: Yes, you can. CleverGet Netflix Downloader could download videos from Netflix.com even if you are using its Netflix Basic with ads Plan, with all ads being removed after downloading. However, there are some limitations for downloading videos with Netflix Basic with ads Plan: the Netflix Basic with ads Plan account could only be logged into Netflix.com on one device at a time for video downloading, and CleverGet could download up to 720P videos from Netflix.com under Netflix Basic with ads Plan.

6.What do I need to provide to get quicker assistance when I come across errors while using CleverGet program?

For quicker response and more efficient communication, please include these things while you are trying to get support from us:

• Computer OS environment, including: OS version, CPU model and storage, graphics card model, current location, using VPN or not, HDCP support(check whether or not your computer support HDCP at https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/hdcp-detection/), and other things you think it's necessary.
• Bug report: send bug report to us directly from CleverGet program interface with detailed description.
• Screenshots: necessary screenshots of the issue would be more helpful.

7. Why is CleverGet keeping providing video download options of Part 1 while I’m playing Part 2 of a FANZA video?

A: On FAZNA website (dmm.co.jp), many videos contain several parts, which could be selected and played back directly on the playing page. All these parts share the same video URL, which makes CleverGet thinks all of them are the same video since there is no change in video URL. Therefore CleverGet always parses and then provides the video download options of the Part 1 of target video, no matter which part is being played back. To let CleverGet parse target FANZA video with correct results, customers need to add “/part=2/”, “/part=3/” or even “/part=N/” (N means the number of the last part of target video) to the end of target FANZA video URL and then press the “Enter” button on the keyboard. If the URL of target FANZA video already contains “/part=1/”, customers only need to change the number of “part=1” to the target part number. This will be optimized in the future versions.

8.Computer connects with multiple display screens. Can't download 1080P videos even computer gets HDCP support?

A: Try to disconnect display screens, and keep the display screen that supports HDCP connected to computer. Then, try to parse and download target video again.

9. How to download 1080P videos when computer gets no HDCP support?

A: Try to disconnect all displays that are connected with computer. Then, remote control the computer from another computer to try to parse and download 1080P videos on computer that has no HDCP support. When the download completes, re-connect display to computer.
