Best screen capture recorder to record episodes from streaming sites

[MasterJ360]

Anything from Netflix, Hulu, and major broadcast networks are the source. Video lockers aren't stream sources since the content technically isn't being streamed, and like I mentioned above these tend to use highly compressed forms of official scene releases as to meet upload limitations.

hmmm thats what I don't understand I mean couldn't you just watch the episodes over as many times you want under those services? Not sure why anyone would want to download anything unless we were talking about a streaming website that has multiple video players

So you want to get the material for primary distribution?

Nah, he probably just wants to see its shows without stupid restrictions,maybe offline or is thinking the service is not good enough to keep paying for it every month and wants to keep he's favorite stuff, I understand his pain....

OBS is the best one for anybody, no matter your brand of toaster

I don't have a toaster...

OBS only uses like, 20% of my CPU, if that, and recordings look fine, then again, I'm using an Intel CPU and NVidia GPU

In recording ram (as buffer) and a fast enough hdd can play a huge role...
Have a slow hdd or a small ram buffer to keep things nice, choppiness happens..
I do remember years ago Fraps creating really huge files, it worked for me but my hdd ran out of space really fast.... They claimed using almost raw recording so It wouldn't waste cpu or gpu resources in compression the data on the go... Not sure if they still follow that idea...

Anyway, back to the thread.
In the past I had a program that could grab the video data that was being received from network... It worked great with youtube and other websites but now is full of adshit and doesn't seem to work..
So if people find a program similair, that would be great and OP could probably use it as well

Like Migles said he's probably wanting them for offline use. If that's the case then torrents will be a much better source. Muxing and ripping is only handy to those who are wanting to distribute (unless the OP is wanting to grab streams from something like Twitch, which is much more niche).

Did you decide on anything or try any of the programs mentioned?

Shadowplay should do the job, it is easy and free.
