Could you tell me the difference between a screen recorder and a downloader? What does a screen recorder do? How long does it takes to record a 95 min movie?

Have you read ANY of the posts from our two jerked-around-by-SF ex-Moderators for the last 4 months? And if not, WHY NOT?
Since you already stated you owned Kigo before you bought SF before the CDM revocation and you
still don't grasp the difference, especially after what I posted just 3 comments before this, I doubt that anything I could tell you at this point would make much of an impact - especially given your last question - but if it'll prevent you from hawking any more screen recorders here, let's do it.
A direct downloader is just that - it bypasses DRM encryption and downloads the file directly from the source. How long it takes will depend entirely on your internet connection and what speed the program can deliver - realtime (1x) or 8x or unlimited.
SF used to be a downloader. It has not been one since version 6.1.6.7.A screen recorder does exactly that - records streaming video. It's what SF has now been turned into - basically a Cleverget-type screen recorder. Instead of cracking the DRM encryption, it relies on re-encoding: it streams the video and records it at a high rate of speed at your desired resolution, then reformats it. That processing phase can take hours, as it's not only dependent on the file length, but your CPU, memory speed and drive type. The result will NOT have the same video or audio quality as a direct download
because it's a screen recording. If the video has ads, removing them increases the odds that the video will go out of sync with the audio, the longer it plays.
This is why touting other screen recorders as a "solution" - when no one wants the one that's been foisted on us because PornFab knew it was going to bail on cracking anything three months before the DRM change in January, but would keep claiming it was working tirelessly anyway - is, to put it mildly, an extremely ill-timed move on your part.
