Episode 5.8 Download Movies: A Guide to Finding and Enjoying the Best Content Online



Back in 2015, Amazon Prime Video was the first subscription-based streaming service to introduce the ability to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing on mobile devices. For travelers and users with limited data plans that like to watch films and episodes on the go, this was a godsend. Amazon has updated its apps many times since then, but the process remains relatively the same.




Episode 5.8 download movies



Just about every movie and TV show is available to download through Amazon Prime Video, but that only applies to members that pay. That means primary Amazon Prime and Amazon Prime Video subscribers are the lucky ones. Unfortunately, Amazon Household members are left out in the cold, with only a handful of downloadable titles available. More on that later.


Before you begin downloading anything, you'll want to check the download quality first and adjust it to your preference or needs. To check, open the "Settings" tab (on iOS) or tap the hamburger menu and then "Settings" (Android). Next, tap on either "Streaming & Downloading" (iOS) or "Stream & Download" (Android).


If you have an iPhone, there's a toggle for "Allow highest quality when on Wi-Fi," which does exactly as it sounds. No matter what quality you pick above it, whenever a download occurs on Wi-Fi, it will always download in the "Best" quality.


Android also has an "Always Ask" option available, which is enabled by default. That means that every time you go to download a video, you'll be able to verify or change the quality on a case-by-case basis. If you only care about one video quality setting, you can disable this to download content right away.


There are a few more settings you should be aware of in regards to downloading. First, whether or not downloads will happen over cellular data. In the "Streaming & Downloading" or "Stream & Download" menu, "Download on Wi-Fi Only" will be enabled by default. If you have unlimited data or significant data allotments and don't care about using it, by all means, toggle this off if you want.


Android users who have SD cards will have one more option to think about: "Download Videos to SD Card." If you don't want to waste internal storage, this is a good idea. Once you have some titles downloaded, you'll also be able to set it so that the videos are automatically deleted when the SD card is removed.


With all of the settings out of the way, now it's just a matter of downloading the movies and TV shows you want to watch offline. Tap on the title you want to download, and in the description page for it, you will see the "Download" button front and center. The exact placement of the buttons may vary on different devices or operating systems, but it is fairly self-explanatory.


Movies will just have the "Download" button while TV shows will have the option to download an entire season if it's included in Prime. If you just want to download individual episodes, you can do that too.


If you plan on traveling overseas to another country, you'll want to download content locally in the US before you embark on your trip because the same content you may want to watch may not be available in the region you'll be visiting, so you may not be able to download certain titles while there.


Amazon doesn't explicitly say which titles are not available for download, but in checking out a good amount of titles, we only found a few of the many thousands of available titles that couldn't be downloaded and those were non-original content. All Amazon original content is good to download if you're a primary paying member.


However, there is a limit to the number of titles you can download offline. According to Amazon, depending on your location, you have a maximum of 15 to 25 movies or TV shows you can download across all of your devices, which is where that auto-delete from SD cards option on Android comes in handy.


We should note that Amazon does make certain titles available to download for Amazon Household members, but it's only a limited number of movies and episodes. In fact, we only found TV episodes, and they are usually only the first episode of a series that is heavily promoted by Amazon. We were not able to find any downloadable Prime movies for Household members, which is unfortunate.


But whether or not you're a primary paying member or a Household member, if you rented or purchased a movie or TV show episode that is not included with Prime, you will be able to download it regardless of your account level.


If you change your mind about a download, for instance, if you want a different quality or selected the wrong title, it's easy to fix those things. You can change the quality (Android only), pause the download, or cancel the download right away.


On Android, where the "Download" button was will show the progress. Tap that, and you'll get options to "Change" quality, "Pause download," and "Cancel download." You could also access these options on Android from the "Downloads" page.


All that is left is for you is to watch your downloaded movies or TV shows. Luckily, Amazon makes it easy with a dedicated "Download" section where all of your offline content lives. Finding the "Download" section is relatively the same for iOS and Android; the only difference is where the section is located.


Once you start watching a title offline, you'll have a specific amount of time to watch the movie or episode before it is automatically deleted. Amazon says the time will depend on the title you have downloaded. A warning in red letters will display under the title indicating the amount of time you have left. However, the countdown will disappear when you reconnect to the internet and will start over again the next time you go offline.


The only other option to remove your offline titles besides manually deleting or removing an SD card (if that setting is enabled) is when one of them is removed automatically during Amazon Prime Video's monthly turnover of movies or when you try to access certain content outside of the US. You'll get an alert that it is no longer available to watch.


With iTunes for Windows 10, you can manage your entire media collection in one place. Subscribe to Apple Music to access millions of songs. Buy music and movies from the iTunes Store. And sync content from your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Cumberbatch is a critically-acclaimed actor with two Oscar nominations to his name, not to mention six Emmy nominations (and one win). He's also been nominated for five Screen Actors Guild Awards, four Golden Globes, and eight (!) Critics' Choice Awards. So, yeah, you could say he's talented. He's perhaps best known for his work in the Doctor Strange movies, where he plays the titular role. But his other notable works include Sherlock, The Imitation Game, and The Power of the Dog. He's hosted Saturday Night Live once before, in 2016, when Solange was the performer.
