Can you not just download them outside of Prime through torrents or similar?

well you see i want a not so well known movie in a specific languge. i couldnt find it anywhere in that language but prime video happens to have said movie in said language. so i thought "hey i already have prime anyway so why not try to get it that way"
If it's one movie, you could just record it using OBS.
Part of the DRM is that it's going to insist on a secure path to the display. It has the video decrypted in the gpu and sent directly to a secured HDMI port.
Now whatever you do, don't go out and buy a cheap chinese HDMI-> USB 3 adapter that lies about its secure status...
Does Prime not have a browser client? Just record the screen.
Have you tried it? Have you tried taking a screenshot of Prime/any other streaming service playing a video?
I have not. This is the piracy sub after all ;)
If it's just for one movie, wouldn't the easiest option to play it and screen record it?
Well i would likely use that again in the future also I don't want to be unable to use my pc for a whole movie duration
Then start climbing the pirate ladder me matey. For the capin's keeps their secrets from us crew, or else it's the King's rope for us all.
I don't think this is the kind of information that pirates like giving out publicly. Whatever they're doing, they don't want it to get patched
I assume this is something you can't find a torrent for? You could always try the quick and dirty method of just taking a screen capture for the length of whatever it is you're watching.
I like the idea of just recording it, because it is simple.
But, if you are beholden to doing it another way, can you tell us how you ripped the content? Did you use yt-dlp?
Whatever the case, you need separate audio and video streams. They'll probably both be encrypted.
You'll need something like mp4decryptor (https://github.com/axiomatic-systems/Bento4) and and widevine keyguesser thing. I haven't done this in about 5 years, so forgive me.
There is a specific order of operations that I don't exactly remember but you'll need to find up-to-date instructions.
I downloaded it on amazon prime on my phone, then pulled the files onto my laptop via Android debug bridge with root privileges
That might help? This is a piracy place but things that use Widevine and constantly changing. That file on your phone will only play on your phone because that app has the decryption keys. The easy apps that do this are not free apps. Screencasting and recording is something you could just start doing now.
You could also tell us the name of the video and someone here might be able to find it.
