Hulu is a globally renowned video streaming service known for its diverse range of content, including original shows, TV programs, anime, sports, and movies. Some Hulu users may wish to record their favorite videos for future viewing. Therefore, this article provides instructions on how to save Hulu videos using both smartphone screen recording and accelerated PC recording methods.
Method 1: Accelerated Recording of Hulu Videos on PC
If you are using Windows or Mac and considering recording Hulu videos, we don’t recommend traditional screen recorders as they tend to be inefficient and time-consuming. Instead, we suggest using KeepStreams Hulu Downloader, which features accelerated recording and scheduled recording functions.
Downloading is more suitable than recording! KeepStreams, with its accelerated recording function and GPU acceleration, allows you to record videos at a high-speed download rate. Moreover, it comes equipped with a batch download feature, enhancing efficiency by allowing you to download multiple videos at once.
Additionally, the scheduled recording feature allows you to set a timetable based on the broadcast time of the program you want to record, making it a hassle-free process.
The output quality of the recorded videos is excellent. You can choose resolutions from 320p to 1080p, select audio options like ACC or EAC3, choose dubbing or subtitles in your preferred language, and even save subtitles externally in SRT format.
Here’s how to use KeepStreams to record Hulu videos:
- Step 1: Download and install the KeepStreams software.
- Step 2: Launch the KeepStreams software and click on the settings menu in the top right corner of the main screen. Here, you can freely configure language and output format settings.
- Step 3: From the VIP Services on the left side of the main page, select Hulu. Access Hulu through the built-in browser, and log in with your Hulu account.
- Step 4: Select and play the content you want to download.
- Step 5: A dialog displaying information about the content will appear. Customize output settings such as episodes to download, video quality, subtitles, and audio.
- Step 6: Click on “Download Now,” and the download will start. If you want to record multiple videos in a batch, click on “Add to Queue” to add them to the download queue.
Method 2: Recording with Cloud DVR on Mobile Devices
When it comes to recording on smartphones, many people often think of using the built-in screen recording feature on their phones. However, there is a possibility that videos recorded using traditional methods may turn out completely black. To address this, we introduce the use of “Cloud DVR” to record and save content directly from Hulu instead of relying on smartphone screen recording.
To utilize “Cloud DVR,” one must subscribe to Hulu’s Live TV service. This subscription allows users to record various TV programs for up to 50 hours. You can automatically schedule recordings based on the broadcast times of your favorite shows. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to record Hulu using “Cloud DVR”:
- Step 1: Open the Hulu Live TV app on your mobile device and navigate to the detailed page of the video.
- Step 2: Move to the “[Details]” page and select “[Record]” icon, then choose “[New & Rerun]”.
- Step 3: Select the “[Record]” icon to record to Cloud DVR. (For TV shows, it records individual episodes, not the entire series.)
- Step 4: The recorded content will be saved in the default location on your smartphone.
Summary
This article provided guidance on how to record Hulu videos on both mobile devices and PCs. Unlike traditional screen captures, the recorded videos do not result in a completely black screen, ensuring a clear and vivid viewing experience.
Among the methods discussed, if you wish to save Hulu videos in versatile formats like MP4/MKV, consider using the KeepStreams Hulu Downloader, a software capable of high-speed recording on PCs.
