I am trying to use OBS to screen record a movie I purchased on Amazon since it apparently doesn't allow you to download the movie for use on other devices. I've tried Display and Browser source options both as well as mkv and mp4 output but I get the same thing, audio but black screen for video. Does Amazon have some kind of recording protection built in? OBS works normally otherwise as I've tested it. I've also switched GPU to power save. Any help is appreciated

Download Prime Video Titles - Amazon Customer Service
To download Prime Video titles for offline viewing, you need a Fire tablet, or the Prime Video app for iOS, Android, macOS, or Windows 10.

Thanks but I do have the video itself downloaded according to Amazon. I paid for a movie and downloaded it and expected it to provide me a "save to" location option but apparently not. This is my first Amazon download btw. So it looks like I can only watch this on Amazon. So I downloaded OBS to hopefully copy the same movie and have a stand alone version even though it is only 1080p. OBS on my laptop works but not for this Prime movie, or any Prime movie for that matter. That is why I'm wondering if Amazon has some preventative feature that makes it impossible to record this movie. I should have simply bought the DVD I guess and ripped it.
Correct nor would I attempt to copy any material I didn't own. I just didn't realize when I purchased it that it was not a real download that I could take with me but was instead limited to specific viewing platforms. I should have bought the DVD. This is clearly the last time I'll buy a movie on Amazon with their restrictions
