How To Download Movies From Amazon Prime To Pendrive Or A Hard Disk?
The video you download from Amazon Prime on your computer or laptop using the Prime Video app is stored on your computer’s hard disk.
However, the downloaded video can only be accessed using the Prime Video app and not otherwise. These videos are encrypted and are not meant for distribution.
People who claim to be downloading videos from Amazon Prime to their Pendrive are making use of some Screen Recorder software to record the videos. But, remember that it’s against the Terms of Use of Amazon Prime Video.
What’s Available To Download And What’s Not?
Amazon doesn’t explicitly say which titles are available for download.
However, on browsing various movies and TV shows, we found that most of them were available to download.
Also, note that there are certain regional restrictions on some of the content available on Amazon Prime Video. So, what’s available in the US to download may necessarily not be available in the UK or European countries.
Further, you should know that there is a limit to the number of titles you can download for offline usage. Depending on your location, you have a maximum of 15 to 25 movies or TV shows that you can download across all of your devices.
How To Delete Downloaded Amazon Prime Videos?
After you watch a downloaded video, you might want to remove it from your device to get the storage space back.
It is especially useful if your phone or tablet is running low on space.
To delete a video, go to your Downloads section, choose the video you want to delete, and tap on the Three Dots. Here, tap Delete Download.
It’s Convenient…
Enjoying movies and TV shows from your Amazon Prime Video library really is that simple.
Hopefully, Amazon will add more content to the titles available for download. And it would be helpful if the app allowed users to sort the videos available for download.
But, we’d definitely say this adds more value to the Prime subscription, and we are very happy about it.
That wraps up our guide on how to download videos, movies, and TV series from Amazon Prime.
