The process of capturing video content streamed from the Netflix platform for offline viewing is the central subject. It involves the use of specialized software or hardware to save the audio and video data being transmitted to a device. An instance of this would be utilizing screen recording applications while a movie plays on the Netflix website.
The ability to archive streamed content provides several advantages, including the option to view content without an active internet connection, preserve favorite shows or movies that may be removed from the streaming service catalog, and create personal libraries of media. Historically, this functionality filled the gap where physical media options were unavailable, enabling individual content ownership and accessibility.
