How to Screen Record DMM Videos?

The "download function" has been made an official DMM feature. This makes it difficult to record videos, but it is still worth knowing.

The following video titles are available on DMM.

• HD version of streaming video (expiration date: indefinite)
• Streaming video (expiration date: indefinite)
• HD streaming video (expiration: 2 days, 7 days, 30 days, etc.)
• Streaming video (expiration: 2 days, 7 days, 30 days, etc.)

The first two above have no expiration date, so there is no need to download the recording.

The bottom two are rental purchases, which means there is a limit to how long you can watch them.

By quickly recording and permanently saving this video title with an expiration date, you can easily play it offline using your smartphone or tablet anytime and anywhere.

The price difference in HD quality is often more than a 1,000yen when comparing the indefinite version to the rental version, so it's attractive to be able to personalize your videos at a discounted 1,000yen as well.

That is why this article will explain how to record video content from the video streaming service DMM.com.

By the way, the recording method I'm going to show you is a completely legal technique that is not illegal, so you can record without worry!

Let's take a quick look at how to record video content from the DMM.com video streaming service.

How to Record DMM Videos｜Recording on DMM.com

Recording DMM video content cannot be done on any device, including computers, smartphones, tablets, and HDD recorders.

This is because of the "HDCP" technology that prevents unauthorized video recording.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copyright protection technology that aims to prevent unauthorized copying of digital content.

This article will give you more information about this particular item and how to record videos using them.

How to Record DMM Videos｜What you Need to Record

By preparing the items listed below, you'll be able to record DMM.

What you need for DMM recording

• Personal computer (+ Internet connection)
• DMM.com account
• Dedicated recording software

Except for basic items essential for video playback such as a computer, internet connection, and video streaming service account, DMM recording requires a dedicated recording software called BBFly DDM Downloader.

The main economic advantage is that you can compress the price you pay considerably by purchasing and recording rental videos with a cheaper expiration date instead of buying the more expensive indefinite version of the video.

Many of DMM's indefinite video titles cost more than one 1,000yen, but the rental videos with expiration dates are priced at less than one coin, so if you rent and record the rental version instead of the indefinite version, you can enjoy overwhelmingly cheaper and stress-free video viewing. The price is less than one coin.

It's nice to know that once you've recorded the video and saved it on your computer, you can watch it whenever you want without having to pay a penny thereafter.

Also, the merit of being able to comprehensively download video content that is no longer being distributed is also very modest.

Once you record and save the video, you will be able to watch it permanently on your phone or TV, which is quite a benefit.

Let's Install the Software and Start Recording!

Of course, it is best to use the full version of the software, which has no functional limitations whatsoever, but a free trial version is also available, so you may want to use the free trial version first to see how the software performs.

What to Do If you Can't Download a Video?

A reader of this site gave me an effective way to deal with the problem of not being able to download videos even after following the above steps, and I'd like to share it with you here!

To do so, simply right-click on the software installer downloaded from the BBFly official website to open the menu and select "Run as administrator" to install the software.

The rest of the procedure is the same as above, so if you are experiencing any problems with the software, you should definitely try "Run as administrator".

The Free Trial Version has a Limit on the Number of Recordings

As I mentioned, the BBFly DMM Downloader allows you to record DMM with very simple operations, but there is a limit to the number of times you can record with the free trial version.

The free trial version limits the number of recordings to three, and if you want to record more than that, you have to get the paid version.

It's enough to check the performance of the software, but obviously not enough to use it for a long time.

So, if you want to continue to record numerous video titles with the BBFly DMM Downloader in the future, buy the paid version.

How to Record DMM videos｜How to Watch Recorded Videos

This section explains how to watch recorded video data of video content from the video delivery service DMM.com.

There are two main ways to watch a movie: on a computer and on a smartphone or tablet. The following is the most orthodox way to watch a movie on a computer.

How to Watch Recorded Videos

If you want to watch it on your computer, it is convenient to use a free media player.

Among them, I recommend the standard free software "VLC Media Player" because it is known for its ease of use that even beginners can use without any confusion.

Of course, being free software, there is zero financial burden, so if you don't have a specific media player, why not take the opportunity to download it?

Once you launch VLC Media Player, just click and drag the video data you want to play into the player. It will automatically play the video for you.

The basic operations are also designed to be understood intuitively, such as the "Play" and "Stop" buttons, so you'll be able to use it right away.
