Use ShareX to Record Movie Playing on Google Play - Why Failed

Rel updated on May 10, 2024 to Screen Recorder Questions and Answers

I just purchased the new Mario movie on google play. I'd love to use ShareX to record it, put the file on a thumb drive, and use the thumb drive to play the movie in our van. I get a black screen with audio when I record things from google play or Netflix...Any help with this?

According to your description, your ShareX seems to be not working well with recording videos on Google Play. It might be the reason for copyright protection, a way to prevent you from recording with a third-party recording tool, and ShareX has nothing to do with this kind of situation.

If you insist on recording encrypted movies, I suggest you try the best ShareX alternative, EaseUS RecExperts, which is a professional screen recorder. This recording tool is equipped with multiple recording modes, you can set the recording as you like. To remind you, recording encrypted movies or videos can only be used for personal use. You cannot record for any commercial reasons. More features of EaseUS RecExperts are waiting for you to discover yourself. Download and find more:

💠Here are steps about how to record movies with EaseUS RecExperts:

Step 1. Install and open EaseUS RecExperts on your computer. Click the down arrow from the left bar, and then go to the Enhanced mode.

Step 2. A window will pop out to remind you that this mode will take up more space in your computer. Just click "OK".

Step 3. Now, you enter the strengthened mode. Start your recording with the Rec button. If you want to stop recording, press the Stop button. 

I hope this post has answered your questions. Good luck!
