Tech-savvy people of Mastodon: I have a need to screengrab episodes of Clarkson's Farm
(I'm doing a "person reviews X show on YouTube" & just need to get short clips)
Clarkson's Farm is available only on Amazon Streaming, which does not allow screens (just gives you a black screen when you try)
....does anyone have recommendations
@sarahtaber Try YT-DLP it will run on a windoows computer, and perhaps give your windows computer linux-like power.
Its a command line video downloader program, but is easy enough to use if one can copy the URL of the video you are after.
If it works you would get your own copy of that video on your computer
To install on windows use the scoop tool
@sarahtaber A closer read ...
The yt-dlp.exe link in the installation section, should allow you to install this on your windows computer
It lists amazon streaming as something its capable of downloading
