The recorded files are extremely large and take-up valuable space on your Mac hard drive.

Using a screen recorder to save Netflix videos on your Mac will result in poor video quality in many cases as a lot of frames will be skipped by whichever screen capture software you use.

If you have a bad WiFi connection or it is disrupted during recording, the quality will be very poor.

The audio and video quality of the recorded files will depend on your internet connection.It’s also the least convenient way of downloading Netflix shows on a Mac because you have to play the entire show or movie while recording it meaning you can’t use your Mac to do anything else in the meantime.

Screen recording is against Netflix terms and conditions and could result in your account being suspended.When CPU usage is low, or I just rebooted my computer, so things are 'fresh', everything (including KM) works great.Before we begin, you should proceed with caution as there are many reasons we strongly advise against using a screen recorder to download Netflix on your Mac. Or maybe it's even causing KM to hang or crash, because if I go to Activity Monitor and quit KM, then relaunch it by launching the Editor, it'll work normally again. I've got high CPU usage, then I try to trigger a KM shortcut to reposition a window or something like might take KM a few seconds to respond, or never (or maybe I'm not waiting long enough). I've got a lot of windows open in Chrome and/or converting videos in HandBrake, something (the OS?) is making it harder for KM to accept keyboard shortcuts.Į.g. I've never had this problem with my old laptop (an Intel MacBook Pro running Mojave).Īnd it's hard to reliably replicate this, but it does seem like if my computer is very active (e.g. I still don't have a good handle on what's happening exactly, but it does seem like some combination of Big Sur and/or a M1 Mac is causing KM to either hang or really delay execution, mainly when overall CPU usage is high. I've been monitoring other related threads but decided to post back to this one since other threads seem to be more focused on the KM Editor being slow.
