Today there are many streaming services that let you watch all kinds of videos on multiple devices. Alas, most popular websites that stream video don’t provide any downloading options, so what do you do if you still want to rip a streaming video from the internet so you can enjoy it offline? You need a video stream recorder!
How to capture streaming video
Movavi Screen Recorder is a powerful video ripper that will easily download streaming video to your Windows or Mac PC. Just download the program and follow the simple instructions below to learn how to record streaming video.
Step 1. Install Movavi’s video recorder
Download and open the distribution file and follow the installation instructions. The program is available for both Windows and Mac.
Step 2. Set the capturing parameters
Go to the streaming site and cue up the video you want to download. Launch the software, press the Screen recording button and draw the orange capture frame over the video area on the screen.
If you don’t want to sit in front of your Mac and watch the recording process, you can set the timer in the Settings menu. The program will end the recording after a designated amount of time has elapsed, so you can leave the computer and get on with your life while the recording is happening.
Step 3. Download the streaming video on Mac
Click REC and get ready to play your video – you have three seconds. You can manage the video capturing process by clicking the Pause and Stop buttons. By default, the recording will be saved in MKV format and open in a preview window. If your media file contains ads or other parts you don't want to keep, or you want to save it in another format, go on to the next step.
Step 4. Edit and convert the video (optional)
If you want to remove the unwanted parts of the video, do the following: place the marker on the timeline at the start point of the segment you want to get rid of and click scissors, then do the same to mark the end point. Now select that segment on the timeline and hit the trash can button. Once you're ready to save the changes and convert the video, click Export.
In the new export window, choose the format for saving and click Save. Now you know how to capture streaming video on Mac. Downloading web content onto your Mac has never been so easy!
