[Guide] How to Download Adult Empire Videos in 1080p or 4K?

Because of its massive library, I've been using Adult Empire's VOD service for years. But the Premium Access doesn't give me an offline viewing option. I don't want to worry about the removal of my favorite titles from this platform one day.

That is exactly why I started looking for ways to download Adult Empire videos directly to my hard drive. I wanted my collection offline, safe, and playable on my TV without stuttering. If you're like me and are looking for an Adult Empire downloader, this guide that includes 3 methods to download the VOD videos you subscribe to, rent, or buy on Adult Empire is exactly what you need.

Adult Empire Explained

Before we jump into the "how-to," we need to clear up some confusion. I see questions popping up on Reddit and other forums all the time about what this site actually is and whether it's safe to put your credit card info there. Let's break it down.

Is Adult Empire Safe and Legit?

Yes, it's one of the oldest and most reputable players in the industry. Adult Empire is like a combination of Prime Video and Pornhub. The huge number of licensed adult content makes it different from these shady pirate sites filled with malware. The creators actually get paid when we purchase a title.

How about the privacy? Based on my usage, they typically use discreet billing descriptors (usually a generic abbreviation like "AE VOD" or similar non-explicit names). So you won't see "ADULT MOVIE" plastered on your credit card bill. No need to worry about your bank statement.

VOD vs. DVD: What Are You Actually Downloading?

If you're new to this platform, don't confuse the VOD option with the DVD one. They are quite different! Adult Empire started its business as a DVD seller, and we can still get the service in this streaming era.

If you choose "Buy DVD", physical discs (DVDs/Blu-rays) will be shipped to your mailbox. The shipping is usually free. If you click on the buttons below "Video On Demand", you will get an online video.

Can We Download on Adult Empire?

Adult Empire does provide an official download service, and it claims "own it forever" (based on the Own it Overview Rule from the Help Center of Adult Empire). But the catch is, you have to actually buy it. You can't download videos with just a subscription, a rental, or lifetime streaming access.

Most of us aren't spending $10 to buy a single scene. We are using the Unlimited Membership (Subscription), but are not allowed to watch what we're paying for offline.

Official options for adult empire download include "HD Download + Stream for Life", while third‑party tools provide flexible offline backups.

How to Download Videos from Adult Empire and Other Similar Sites?

We need a tool that can really help us download videos that we can access on Adult Empire, whether it's subscribed, rented, or purchased. Is it possible? Of course. After testing a dozen methods, I found KeepStreams is the best choice that feels like a polished, professional tool rather than a hack job.

Why KeepStreams?

As a professional video downloader, KeepStreams Video Downloader doesn't just "record" the screen. It communicates directly with the server to fetch the raw video file, in the highest quality you can get, which can be up to Full HD 1080p or 4K. And like the official download function does: save the videos into MP4 format and have them forever.

What's more, I recommend it as a versatile tool because KeepStreams Video Downloader supports 180+ streaming sites, including AdultSwim, Brazzers, Drtuber, Eporner, and many other adult video sites. If you want a tool to back up your collection before it gets removed, KeepStreams can be the best choice.

In short, if you are serious about building a local collection, you need more than just a video file. You need a better download experience. With KeepStreams, you can even watch your favorite subscribed scenes offline on your Roku in an easier way (Check the Bonus Part below).

Step-by-Step Guide to Download Adult Empire Videos

Using KeepStreams is safer than pasting URLs into random websites because it uses a built-in secure browser. And there are no endless ads. Here is my experience on how to use KeepStreams to download from Adult Empire:

Open KeepStreams and type the official site of Adult Empire into the top bar (adultempire.com). This browser is isolated, meaning it keeps your browsing history separate from your main Chrome/Edge browser.

Sign in with your account credentials if you want to download a subscription, rent, or purchased video based on your account. Since it's illegal to remove DRM from videos, the login can help KeepStreams verify your accessibility to the content you're trying to download.

But if you want to save a video or preview clip that can be played without logging in, there is no need to follow the step here. Just jump into the next step.

When the video is played within the built-in browser, KeepStreams will analyze it automatically. A pop-up window will appear as soon as the analysis is done. You can set your preferred options here (the real options depend on the original video).

Click on "Download Now" to start the download. The file will start downloading at your maximum bandwidth. On my connection, I can pull a 1GB file in about 5-6 minutes—way faster than watching it in real-time.

The downloaded videos will be saved in the local folder on your PC. Don't know where it is? Click Downloads > Downloaded > file icon to quickly access the folder.

2 Alternative Ways to Save Videos

Is there another way to download from Adult Empire without spending a dime? Of course, yes. I believe in being honest. But we need to pay with our time and sanity. If you only want to save a single 5-minute clip, maybe these methods are enough. But for a full library? Here is what you are up against.

Screen Recording (OBS / Built-in Tools)

This is the brute-force method. You play the video in full screen and record your desktop. There are many free tools that can help us do it, such as the open-source tool OBS Studio, and the built-in programs on your PC, like Snipping Tool and QuickTime Player.

They are free and convenient to use. But the captured quality is decreased, and the recording is real-time.

✅ The Good: It's free to use and can be quickly accessed.

⚠️ The Bad: It's a 1:1 time investment. To record a 2-hour movie, you have to let it play for 2 hours. Also, you can't use your computer for anything else during that time (unless you want email notifications popping up in the middle of the action). Plus, DRM protection often detects recorders and turns the screen black.

Browser Extensions (Video DownloadHelper)

We've all used these for YouTube and other yt-dlp video sites. Such an add-on can be easily found on the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-Ons. Most of them are free to use, but they will get removed from time to time. You might need to switch from one to one frequently.

Video DownloadHelper is one of the best choices. But recently, I found it doesn't support downloading DRM videos (normally, content that can not be played for free) after a major update. (For more recommendations, read the top Chrome extensions for downloading videos review)

✅ The Good: Convenient for unencrypted sites.

⚠️ The Bad: Adult Empire uses encrypted streaming protocols (HLS/M3U8). Most extensions will either fail to detect the video entirely or download a fragmented file that won't play. Even if it works, you are usually capped at 720p.

[Bonus] How to Watch Downloaded Videos on Roku and TV?

When I did research on different forums, I found many users are searching for "adult empire roku" or "how to watch on TV." The official Adult Empire app isn't exactly available on the standard Roku Channel Store due to content restrictions. But we can still do it with the MP4 video files.

My Adult Empire stream tip: Since KeepStreams saves files as standard MP4, we have two easy ways to watch on the big screen.

1. The "Old School" Way: Put the MP4 files on a USB drive and plug it directly into your Smart TV or Roku Ultra. It just works.

2. The "Pro" Way (My Setup): Set up a Plex or Emby media server on your PC. Point it to your download folder. Now, you can stream your entire local Adult Empire collection to any device in your house (iPad, Roku, Xbox) over your Wi-Fi, with full cover art and organized menus. It's like building your own private Netflix.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, downloading from Adult Empire isn't just about avoiding data caps—it's about ownership. You paid for the content, so you deserve to watch it without buffering, without internet, and on whatever device you choose. With an AdultEmpire downloader, you can own the videos you paid for and watch them offline on any device.

While free screen recorders like OBS are useful for saving a short clip here and there, they just can't handle DRM-protected titles and the volume of a serious collection. If you value your time and want the best possible picture quality, a dedicated tool like KeepStreams Video Downloader is the best choice to build your own video collection. Plus, it supports many other adult streaming sites.
