Streaming services
Plays the video in its own built-in browser and records from there, including services that block every other route.
Windows only
Record what cannot be downloaded
Some videos are never handed to your browser as a file - paid streams are encrypted, and the provider refuses anything but its own player. Video Capture Ultimate takes them the other way round: it records what is on screen while the video plays, and saves it as a finished MP4.
What it records
Any Windows program
Not tied to a browser - media players, video calls and DVD playback are recorded the same way.
A window, a region or the whole screen
Pick exactly the area worth keeping instead of storing a full desktop.
Audio, in sync
The soundtrack is captured with the picture and muxed into the same file - or saved on its own as MP3.
Before you buy
- Requires Windows 10 (version 1903 or newer) or Windows 11.
- Not available for macOS or Android.
- Recording is a last resort: where a download works, Video Downloader Ultimate gives you the original file at full quality.
Try it first
The trial records for up to 30 seconds at a time and runs on one computer. Everything else works - the built-in browser, region select, audio and MP4 output - so you can check it handles your source before paying for anything.
Download the free trialGet it with the Premium edition
Video Capture Ultimate is not sold alone here - it comes with Video Downloader Ultimate Premium. If you arrived because a download failed, the downloader is the larger half of what that buys you.

- Video Downloader Ultimate
- Downloads from more than 15,000 sites in up to 8K, whole playlists and channels in one run, and converts to MP4, MP3 or MPEG. Where a download works at all, this is the better route - you get the original file rather than a recording.
