Streaming services are extremely popular because of their low-threshold nature. You click on a nice film or series, after which you immediately see an image. The downside of this is that you always need access to (fast) internet. This is not always available at the campsite or on the plane. Moreover, abroad you often have to deal with regional restrictions. In short, enough reason to sometimes drop some nice videos on your laptop or tablet. This way you can watch streams later.

The most popular Google keywords in the Netherlands in 2020 December 25, 2020 15:12 As soon as you stream a movie or series, your computer, tablet, game console or smart TV constantly downloads a small piece from the internet. During playback, the playback device then fetches the rest and stores this portion in a buffer. The advantage of this technology is that you don't have to save the entire media file before you can start watching. After the movie or series has ended, streaming services erase the relevant media file from your system again. Also read: Get the most out of Netflix with these 12 super handy tips.
This is a wonderful method for Netflix, Videoland, NPO Missed, YouTube and other streaming video providers. They only give away the media files temporarily, so that users cannot share them among themselves. Consumers experience little hindrance from this approach. After all, broadband internet is widely available and waiting times are usually short. Yet everyone sometimes ends up in situations where there is no (fast) internet available. Consider, for example, the limited bandwidth at a campsite, expensive Wi-Fi costs in a hotel or flights without accompanying Wi-Fi hotspots. To be on the safe side, store your favorite media files locally as well.
Legislation
Can you download streams? And what about recording? Good questions to which we give short answers. Copyrighted media files on download networks like usenet and bittorrent are illegal. You can't officially download it. Ripping television programs and YouTube streams via GemistDownloader is also prohibited. However, the risk of problems is negligible. Until now, Stichting Brein only tackles the providers of media files. A gray area, however, is recording streams through a program like PlayOn. Netflix titles, for example, are copyrighted, but can you record the streams or not? Provided you have a paid account and do not share the media files with others, you probably run little risk. Finally, you can also record television broadcasts with a hard disk recorder, for example via Ziggo's Horizon Mediabox. Recording with PlayOn is more or less comparable, since you pay neatly for the Netflix subscription.
01 Offline Mode
It would be great if the most popular streaming services introduce an offline mode. Before you board the plane, get all the episodes ready. Netflix recently started offering such a feature in its iOS and Android mobile apps. Unfortunately, this function is not available for all films and series. In practice, it turns out to be difficult to introduce such a function across the board, because Netflix needs permission from film companies to offer titles offline. Videoland has also recently started offering an offline mode. The rollout of this new feature is being phased in, so you won't be able to download all titles right away. In addition to some video services, almost all music services also have an offline mode built in. Examples include Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music and Google Play Music.
YouTube Go/Red
YouTube recently introduced the YouTube Go mobile app in India, which allows you to save videos to watch on the go (connections are pretty bad in India). There is also a paid variant of the popular streaming service under the name YouTube Red. It also allows users to download videos to their computer or mobile device. Unfortunately, both YouTube Go and Red are not (yet) available in the Netherlands. Later in this article you will read how you can easily rip YouTube videos.
Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime is a major competitor of Netflix in the United States. This service has an interesting catalog of online films and series, where the company also offers its own productions. Since 2015, Amazon Prime has included a function to store video material locally, so that you can also watch in places without an internet connection. According to strong rumors, Amazon will soon introduce a Dutch version of its streaming service.
