Hi people, since we see more and more complaints regarding old movies being not politically correct anymore, I am getting more and more concerned about some purchases I made some years ago. Specifically, there is a set of local movies in my mother tongue which I bought and therefore want to download them in case they are removed/changed later on. How can I do that?

Linux cmdline tools preferred, sharing is no consideration, so I am not concerned about digital fingerprints.

    I’ve given up on any direct download methods. It’s a game of wack-a-mole and the players often don’t share their tricks anymore, or charge a pretty penny.

    Try OBS screen recording if you want a free option.

    For anything that doesn’t work with, I’ve just gone the extra mile and now have a Streaming Stick plugged into an HDMI Splitter and then piped into an HDMI capture card, which then pipes into OBS. My setup can only do 1080p SDR, but that’s enough for me.
