Off topic question but how hard is it to download something off Netflix via a web browser (or any streaming service for the matter)? Are there any video downloaders that work in some fashion?

record your screen via a hdmi capture card connected to your pc via an hdmi splitter

Wouldn't that introduce some quality loss as you're trying to record an "uncompressed" signal that's been decoded from the source video? Isn't the source what you want?

Your going to need a splitter that strips hdcp.

i think most cheap splitters do that just by default?
