Is it easier to screen record Prime Video on Mac or Windows? (lemmy.cafe)

I’m currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it’s really annoying. So I’m wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.

Obviously there are DRM issues, those can be fixed on windows by turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser. Is it easy to get around DRM on Mac?

Anyone have any experience or know where I can go to get help/talk about it with people?

System Specs: Intel Core i5 10400 GTX 1050 TI 16gb Ram 500gb SSD (for OS) and another 1tb SSD for recordings

I use Bandicam to record my Edge browser. Prime is a bit smoother when I make sure my PC is not running on efficiency mode, but still stutters a bit.

Netflix and Apple TV only run in 720p or worse, can't get them to get to 1080p which is my target. I have to use a 4k monitor to get Prime to play at 1080p.

Unfortunately I have to screen record as I want edited content, unless you know of a place I can torrent edited content then you would be a life saver

You can use ffmpeg or handbrake. They would allow you to edit any video (remove sections). Though it can be slow if you have an older machine.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "edited content."
