The decisive difference to all other tools: Only Audials offers the right configuration (tile) for all important services, which you can use for recording with just one click! For each preconfigured service, Audials recommends whether its website or app is the best recording source. For many video portals, you can simply copy the URL into the input line or drag and drop it in.
The configurations are regularly checked and adjusted by Audials as a service within a generation.
If you use a streaming service that is not preconfigured as a tile in Audials, you can still record it with Other Source / Screen Recording.
Top quality recordings
Direct recording graphics card
Most tools make a screen recording. However, the recording loses quality due to the rescaling of the video images.
Only direct recording from the PC's graphics card guarantees the very highest quality. This method is technically complex and requires a large number of adjustments to browsers and the operating system. Audials delivers recordings of the highest quality.
Adaptive streaming
To compensate for fluctuations in the recipient’s internet bandwidth, Amazon, Netflix and other services split the video streaming into sections, which can also be encoded differently. Many tools fail when recording this adaptive streaming.
However, Audials can reassemble the adaptive streaming into a complete movie after recording without disturbing artifacts or visible transitions and save it without any loss of quality.
EME DRM and HTML 5
Modern video streaming is based on the HTML5 standard. The movie is encrypted according to the EME standard (encrypted media extensions), decrypted in the browser by a CDM module supplied by the provider and forwarded to the graphics card. Audials is 100% compatible and records these video streams for you. Audials does not circumvent any copy protection, but creates a private copy for your own use.
Graphics card coding
Video recordings push PCs to their limits: High resolutions such as Full HD are particularly demanding in terms of performance, as every single frame of a movie has to be recorded. At 25 frames per second and a feature film length of 90 minutes, this adds up to 135,000 recordings. For this reason, Audials’ many years of development have focused on optimization in order to get the best possible performance out of your PC for the best possible recording quality.
Audials encodes in the graphics card so that the processor is less burdened and videos can be processed in even higher quality. Graphics card encoding is supported for the most common graphics cards (Nvidia, AMD, Intel).
Frame rate
Video streaming can be sent with different FPS frame rates (frames per second). The usual rates are 25 FPS or 29.97 FPS.
Audials recognizes the frame rate and saves the recording at exactly the right frame rate if desired. The playback of the recording then looks exactly like the original.
Perfect video file
The format of video files is important because it determines the file size and whether they can be played on end devices.
Audials contains a powerful encoder engine and generates all common video file formats such as WMV, MP4, MPEG4, AVI, 3GP, 3G2, FLV, MKV, MOV, H.264 and H.265.
Many device profiles for PCs, games consoles, tablets and smartphones from various manufacturers are configured in Audials.
The default settings focus on the highest quality. Alternatively, a space-saving file size can also be selected.
Optimized for high-resolution video content, especially 720p-HD and Full-HD (1080p)
Support for Silverlight-based websites as a recording source
Support for Flash-based websites as a recording source
Support for all relevant DirectX variants
Quality monitoring warns of excessive computer load to prevent quality losses
Resolution reduction enables video recording of high-resolution content even on weak / old PCs
Ad filter recognizes ads, flags ad videos, prevents automatic export as a file
Records Netflix, Amazon, Disney+ at high speed without loss of quality
Record within minutes
Even when recording at high speed, Audials ensures the highest quality by accelerating the video and saving it frame by frame. This way, you can have a two-hour movie on your hard disk within half an hour. To do this, set four times the recording speed in the settings before recording.
Audials plays the video in several sections, records them and so you get your video even faster. Amazon Video can be recorded at twice the speed.
Conveniently record series and movies
Perfect for every browser
Most tools make a screen recording. However, the recording loses quality due to the rescaling of the video images.
Only direct recording from the PC's graphics card guarantees the very highest quality. This method is technically complex and requires a large number of adjustments to browsers and the operating system. Audials delivers recordings of the highest quality.
Record Netflix in Full HD
Thanks to the Audials developers, it is now possible to watch and record Netflix in the Chrome and Firefox browsers or in the internal player in full HD (1080p) without any loss of quality. Click on the Netflix tile in the video streaming view in Audials and follow the instructions in the small window that will open. You can also choose whether you want to record in 1080p or need 5.1 surround sound.
Search engine for movie tags
Audials automatically adds the movie tags for Netflix and Amazon, so you don’t have to change anything!
Audials automatically saves recordings from other sources under the correct name. There is a movie tag search engine for these sources.
This allows you to enhance new recordings and existing movie files with movie tags. Once a recording is finished, it appears in the top right-hand corner of Audials. Then click on the pencil icon of the file to start the search.
Audials finds the appropriate short description, actors involved, the director, the genre and much more on the Internet and saves all this for you in the movie file with a click.
The batch recorder
Any video streams from the Internet can be recorded in the highest quality in Chrome and Firefox and saved as MP4, H.264 and other formats with movie tags.
Simply create a list of movies in the Audials rbatch recorder. To do this, briefly play each movie in the browser and Audials registers the movie for recording.
Audials then processes the list automatically and records all the movies for you. Audials automatically provides you with a movie collection. Ingenious, isn’t it?
A little tip: You don’t need a batch recorder for series. Activate the autoplay function in Netflix and click on the Netflix tile in Audials. And Audials will record the entire season!

In Video, Audials shows you more than 10,000 video podcasts in different languages. Audials sorts them by date, popularity, language or content. Dive into topics such as sports, comedy, technology, science, society, health, art and others. You can set your preferred language to only get relevant results.
Saving, favoring, subscribing
In the search you will see the last podcast episode. Go to the podcast’s detail view to see the previous episodes as well.
Save all the podcast episodes that interest you. Add your favorite podcasts to favorites or subscribe to them to get the latest episodes automatically. You can see all your video podcasts perfectly sorted in Video -> My Videos.
Live TV Streams
The World's TV Livestreams
Audials offers over 100 live video streams from TV channels from all over the world.
These include CNN for the USA, numerous BBC streams for the UK, NHK World for Japan and France 2 - 5 for France. Italy is included with the RAI stations and Spain as well as other countries are also represented.
All your videos in one place
In Video you not only see content available online such as TV, streaming and video podcasts, but also all your own videos. Audials sorts films that you have recorded from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video by genre. All episodes of a series are grouped together so that you can find everything quickly.
Organize your own videos
If you don’t like the automatic tagging, you can rearrange videos using drag and drop. To edit all tags like title, director, genre, year etc., click the pencil icon of the video and select Tags. Don’t like the existing tags? Then use the movie tag search engine.
Optimize recordings
Cut Editor and Cropper
Some streaming providers show commercials, summaries or trailers at the beginning of a movie. Audials makes it very easy for you to cut out unwanted content from your recordings. The cut editor also allows you to manually cut frame by frame so that you end up with a perfect video file.
With the cropper, you can also easily remove annoying black bars from the video. Export your favorite movie scenes as new files while retaining the original video.
Subtitles in all languages
In Audials, there are several ways to insert subtitles during recording: Display them from the streaming source and render them directly into the video or save them as a subtitle layer. Alternatively, Audials can also search the web for subtitles in any language and save them as a separate subtitle layer.
Subtitle search engine
After recording, you can use the subtitle search to add subtitles as a layer in any language. Saving the subtitles as a separate layer allows you to see them when playing on other devices, e.g. on your TV. You can also remove them at any time.
Another way to get subtitles is to have them translated in Audials.
Remove advertising with one click
Audials can recognize and cut out annoying advertisements during the recording. Alternatively, you can also remove them afterwards, as Audials automatically marks them for you. So you can get rid of them with one click.
Optimal sound
Sometimes the dialog in movies is barely audible due to loud background noises. If you add a second audio track with Audials, you can adjust the sound so that it suits you.
Convert and edit
Convert in the background
Audials is a valuable helper when it comes to converting lots of videos into the right format or making movie dialog better audible with the speech enhancement function. Add all the videos you want to improve to a queue right away. And Audials will do everything for you.
Format converter with a twist
For videos and films, you can select a device profile optimized for your playback device. This means you get video files perfectly matched to the screen resolution and performance of your devices - converted to the most suitable output format and without any loss of quality.
3GP, 3GP (H.264), 3G2, AVI (XVID), AVI (H.264), AVI (DIVX), FLV, MKV, MOV, MPEG4 (MP4), MPEG4 (H.264), WMV (wmv7), WMV (wmv9)
Supported devices
Windows computers as desktop PCs or notebooks, Android smartphones & tablets, Apple devices with iPhone, iPad & iPod as well as games consoles such as the Microsoft Xbox, Sony Play Station or Nintendo are supported with their own profiles.
Manufacturers with supported smartphones, tablets and mobile players:
If your device does not appear in the list, you can quickly and easily select the appropriate format with predefined parameter sets. There are other options:
Create individual video profiles
In expert mode, you can create your own profiles that are optimized for the performance of your target device. Select the appropriate container and the codec that delivers the best results. Set the desired bit rate and, for videos, the frame rate and size.
Audials sets no limits to the optimization options for conversion. You can either copy and modify existing profiles as a basis for your profile or create your own profile from scratch.
The following parameters, among others, can be set individually:
The container indicates the output format and file extension of the converted audio or video file. You can choose between 3GP, 3G2, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, MP4, WMV for videos and FLAC, AAC, AIFF, AU, CAF, M4A, MP3, OGG, WAV, WMA, WMApro for audio files.
The codec determines how the content of the file is stored. A distinction is made between audio and video codecs, each of which must be specified. For example, an MPEG-4 codec can be used for the video channel and an AAC codec for the audio channel in an MP4 file. The output file can only be played on the playback devices with the correct codecs.
For both audio and video formats, the bit rate can be used to set the quality and size of the output files. Possible audio bit rates: 24-320 kbps. Possible video bit rate: 64-29,040 kbps. Alternatively, the original bit rate can be retained in both cases. Variable bit rates are of course also supported.
The frame size is used to set the resolution of the output file to suit the end device. The adjustable spectrum ranges from a pixel resolution of 128×96 through various gradations up to 4096×2160 (FullHD) pixels. Retaining the original size or individual sizes are also possible.
The frame rate stands for the number of frames per second. The default setting is 25 fps (frames per second). The frame rate can be set individually between 6 and 60 fps.
Enhance films
Audials automatically searches for the right tags for recordings from Amazon and Netflix. You can also have movies and series from other recording sources completed by using the tag search engine. Audials then searches the Internet and provides you with short descriptions, the list of actors, director, genre and much more information for saving.
Simple administration
Anyone who edits videos knows that many video versions accumulate on the hard disk over time. Of course, you also want to be able to find the original file again. Audials combines all versions of a video so that you can easily switch back and forth between them. Your collection remains well structured and organized.
Updates
Compatible with browsers
Audials is compatible with the most popular Internet browsers Google Chrome, Firefox and Edge. All internet browsers behave differently when playing content and streaming services.
It is therefore important that Audials continuously tests the functionality every week and thus not only ensures that your films are always saved in the highest quality, but can also recommend the optimal browsers for recording. This service is included within an Audials generation.
Always up to date!
Streaming services optimize their websites, players and apps from time to time. Internet browsers receive regular updates and even the Windows operating system reacts differently to these changes or to its own updates.
Audials ensures week after week that you can continue to record during an Audials generation with its free service.
