» How to download and watch movies and TV offline By Kelli Uhrich
3:25 PMHigh Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting
The holiday season is a prime time for catching up on the shows and
movies you've missed this year. Whether you have a few hours to kill
while waiting for your flight at the airport, or just need some time to
unwind after visiting family or the in-laws, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video
and other streaming services are making it easier than ever to watch on
the go. Anytime, anywhere.
Streaming services have already
transformed the way we watch TV shows and movies, but one of the biggest
downfalls was that streaming required a strong internet connection. If
you were offline, you were just out of luck. But now, some of the top
streaming services have introduced features that let you download videos
to your tablet or smartphone.
Here's how you can download everything you'd like to stream offline from Amazon Prime Video, Vudu and Netflix.
Amazon Prime Video
1. Open the Amazon Video app on your smartphone or tablet.
From
here, you can either browse through Amazon's video selection or tap the
Library icon to see videos you've previously purchased.
2. Tap on the video you'd like to download.
Not
all titles are available to download and some devices are not
compatible. If the video is available to be downloaded and is compatible
with your device, you'll see a button that says "Download" within the
video details.
3. Tap Download.
Your video will begin to download once you've tapped the Download button.
If
you'd like to download additional videos, tapping Download will add
them to your queue, and they'll be downloaded in the order you
requested.
Vudu
1. Open the Vudu app and go to your My Movie section.
2. Tap the Download icon beneath the video details.
You'll see the option to download the SD version of the video to your device. There is no HD option in Vudu.
It's
important to note that Vudu only allows you to download videos that
you've already purchased. This means you can't download anything from
Vudu's free streaming library.
After you've selected Download SD your video will begin to download.
Netflix
This
feature was just barely added to the latest version of the Netflix app,
so make sure you've installed the updates for your iOS or Android
device.
Once you're updated, you will be greeted by a short "Download & Go" tutorial.
Click on the three-striped Menu button in the upper-left corner and you'll see a new "Available for Download" section.
If
a TV Show or a movie is available for download, a download icon will be
displayed on the movie page or alongside it if it's a TV series
episode.
You can check your content's Download progress by going to the My Downloads section.
There
are two video quality settings you can choose from: "Standard," which
uses a slightly lower resolution, and less storage space so it downloads
faster, and the "Higher" setting, which has better quality but takes
more space and longer to download.
Other download options you can tweak under App Settings are "Wi-Fi Only" downloads.
Your
download speed may vary, of course, but we tested a Standard quality
download of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and it took about 10
minutes to complete the 407.7 MB download (the movie is about an hour
and 48 minutes long). For that file size, the quality of Standard is
actually good.
And the best thing is, once you've downloaded these
videos, you can watch them over and over without eating through your
data plan!
For your convenience Venmo and Zelle are also accepted for payment.
