What Do You Need to Know About Recording?

Generally speaking, recording HDTV video content can't be done on smartphones, tablets or computers. This is because of the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) technology, a protection technology for copyright, aiming to stop copying digital content without authorization.

A normal recording will result in a dark screen after the recording is completed. However, if you follow the steps outlined below, you will be able to record Rakuten TV videos as many as you like without encountering any difficulties.

What Do You Need to Prapare Before Recording Videos?

Prepare the following items before recording.

Personal computer
Internet connection
Your Rakuten TV account
Recording Software

Aside from the basic items essential for video playback, such as a computer, Internet connection, and video streaming service account, Rakuten TV recording requires a dedicated recording software called KeepStreams for Rakuten TV.

It is possible to get the full edition and the free trial version of KeepStreams, which are both available for download. There is a limit to the amount of recordings that may be made using the free trial version of the software. If you want to record more than one, you'll need to upgrade to the full version.

A free trial version is sufficient for you to check the operation of the software, but it is not sufficient for you to utilize the software. Because of this, if you want to record more than three videos, I urge that you buy the full edition to guarantee that your experience is as good as possible.
