RecordFab

I saw it last week and I am annoyed because i feel this should totally be part of StreamFab. But in order to bypass the NPG, it needs to be a standalone product

The program only records @ 2X, so it isn't very helpful.

True but i have many many computers so i could just set it and forget it. It says it supports Udemy so it would be great to be able to learn while on the plane with no WiFi

Udemy may can be support in StreamFab, it's a MPD protected website.

Others may disagree, but I thought the program that Fab used when they couldn't do web d/ls was great. It was faster, and the resulting picture was 1080p and acceptable. This new Fab Record should be a part of StreamFab; Stream Fab has so many issues that a recording feature would alleviate them until Stream Fab is fixed.

I agree with you, it wasn't perfect but a valuable alternative to grap content which stream DL was not possible to do during the DRM period. But I still don't fully understand the process of screen recording. okay, there is OBS which grabs screen content directly from the grafics card for as long as it is not protected content (black otherwise). It's just like a video recorder. SF (during DRM) and RF go another way by grabbing the decrypted video at an earlier stage, and the video does not need to play on the screen, which also allows for faster recording and which also must be the reason that recording is limited to specific streaming platforms. Therefore it is not a real screen recorder, right? but rather an "interceptor" of a decrypted and decompressed video stream. Therefore it is a kind of stream recording which re-encodes the video content. So I agree, it should be part of StreamFab, unless it would be a screen recorder like OBS and other than OBS also can capture DRM protected video. In that case it would not need to care about streaming sites, right?

It was played faster but invisible, that's why I got problems with amazon movies,
when 2nd Monitor is connected - this only happened when playing a (amazon) movie >540p - see here

I can't say whether this is currently the case with RF due to a lack of testing by myself

Yes I remember with your 2nd monitor. I had something similar, but not because of a 2nd monitor. I had SF running in one windows session and then switched windows user. The SF kept recording, but without video content, but only audio. That was reproducable. Haven't really tested RF yet, but I assume it is as they did it during DRM problem time as otherwise there wouldn't be a dependency on streaming services. OBS records the screen and has no idea of the source frame rate - it records the framerate you set (SF at the time recorded with the same framerate as the source had) . OBS records black for protected video when capturing from Chrome. If you used Firefox instead you got the video... but with 1x speed and commercials. RF as far as i know doesn't record the ads which also is an indication that it takes the decrypted stream and encodes it instead of capturing the screen (I guess it is rather using buffering which allows for faster speed where as the video never actually gets as far as to the grafics card). Anyways, it will remain an SF secret ;-)

They claim it to be a Stream Recorder and not a Desktop Screen Recorder

has anyone tested recordfab on youtube movies ???
does it work ?

Remember "Recode" and "Clevergate" during our six-month company holiday?

Seriously, guys, what are you doing with this garbage?

Doesn't this reflect more like back during DVDFab Downloader v1, and up to v3, where it was more or less a stream recorder, rather than downloader? see my feedback on v3.0.1.5, and notice Netflix, Disney+, HBOMax and CBS All Access -> https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/stream...quality-so-far OR Back then was DVDFab Downloader actually capturing/decrypting the file as it played, rather than actually screen recording?

Sorry, I'm late to the party in this thread...

Is RecordFab just a straight up stream/screen recorder? Basically like PlayOn Desktop was, and Audials Movie is?

While Playon Desktop was great (before they tweaked the name and invalidated the lifetime licenses), albeit at 720p, my previous attempts with Audials One (includes Movie) were mostly failures.

I don't understand all the processes under the hood that StreamFab has used and is using over the years and during the DRM issues, but I am surprised this is not included in StreamFab, especially as a fall back for when the DRM changes happen, and they need time to mitigate. Then again, maybe they made it a separate product to have a revenue stream to support it?
