I bought the first episode of Rick & Morty season 8 yesterday on Amazon Prime Video. I swallowed it very quickly without focusing on the details because I clearly felt that its plot was going back to the previous good level. But here's the sad thing: I'm on a plane right now and brought the wrong phone, the one that didn't download the first episode from Amazon.
My eagerness to replay Rick & Morty pushed me out so that I'm writing this guide to introduce several ways to convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4 for limitless playbacks on different devices, for those who have the same expections.
Can You Convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4?
Because of the official download limits of Amazon Prime Video, that's impossible. Although Amazon Prime provides a download function on most kinds of devices, the titles will be saved in an encrypted format, which can't be directly played by third-party players.
- So, now it's time to bring out my personal experience on those third-party Amazon converters, including streaming converters, downloaders and recorders that can save Amazon Prime Video to MP4.
How to Convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4?
1. Convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4 with Converter
The first tool I'm about to introduce is Any Converter. Just like its name says, it can convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4 or even other formats like M4V, etc, in 720p quality, and sometimes can reach 1080p. It attracts me with its GPU acceleration function, which can boost the conversions on Amazon videos.
One thing I dislike is that a number of its functions are unlocked by upgrading to the pro version with an extra charge. Which means if I'm using a free version of Any Converter, I cannot even customize the quality to Amazon Prime video conversions, cannot use the batch converting function, and cannot change the output format to anything else.
If you decide to use Any Converter, here are the steps to convert Amazon movies to MP4 free with it:
Download and install Any Converter on your PC, then launch it.
Copy the Amazon video link, and Any Converter will auto-analyze it.
Select MP4 as the output format and adjust any desired settings.
Click "Convert Now" to export the video as an MP4 file to your chosen location.
2. Convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4 with Downloader
As I tested, StreamFab Amazon Downloader is a reliable choice for those who want to convert Amazon videos to MP4 in a high-quality. During its free trial, it maintained 1080p outputs with EAC3 5.1 audio effect and successfully converted and downloaded 3 full-length Amazon movies to my desktop. I can also download rented movies on Amazon with it, like A Minecraft Movie.
The most favorite feature, for me, is its auto-download function. Let me breakthrough it down in simple words: once you turn this function on, you can leave StreamFab Amazon Downloader in the background, but it will still detect if there are new episodes released according to the schedule I set up and convert Amazon Prime Video to MP4 automatically to my computer.
