I’m currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it’s really annoying. So I’m wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.
Obviously there are DRM issues, those can be fixed on windows by turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser. Is it easy to get around DRM on Mac?
Anyone have any experience or know where I can go to get help/talk about it with people?

I use Bandicam to record my Edge browser. Prime is a bit smoother when I make sure my PC is not running on efficiency mode, but still stutters a bit.
Netflix and Apple TV only run in 720p or worse, can’t get them to get to 1080p which is my target. I have to use a 4k monitor to get Prime to play at 1080p.
Why bother with screen recording Prime when you could torrent it? I feel like I’m missing something.
I like to watch edited movies, and I edit them via browser extensions (Clear Play) or through other sites (VidAngel) where they edit them while streaming them. So you’re definitely right - that would be easier, but for what I am trying to accomplish unfortunately screen recording seems like the best option…
Ah, so it’s so you can edit out inappropriate stuff for your kids or students or something? Yeah, that’s hard.
You’d think there’d be some sort of extension or database with a crowdsourced filtering system like SponsorBlock for this purpose where you could just look up the timestamps for the stuff you don’t want. I don’t have a reason to edit out content so I haven’t looked into whether such a thing exists or not.
Edit: Check out Clean Media Player or Movie Content Filter. It looks like one of them might have at least some of what you’re looking for.
