Screen Record Free iTunes Videos

If you only need to record free movies from iTunes Store, you have many choices, as many free video recording software are available. In the following, we will also show you two excellent video recorders to capture free iTunes movies.

#1. QuickTime Player

If you only want to capture some free videos from iTunes Store on Mac for offline viewing, you can use a built-in Mac screen recorder, and that's called QuickTime Player. It's entirely free to use, and can meet your basic recording needs. However, it doesn't support adjusting the recording modes, and the quality is not good as other professional video recorders.

Steps to screen record iTunes on Mac:

Step 1. Launch QuickTime Player, and click "File" > "New Screen Recording".

Step 2. Open iTunes and play the movies that you want to record.

Step 3. When you are ready, click "Rec" on QuickTime Player to start your iTunes movie recording.

#2. OBS Studio

If you are unsatisfied with QuickTime's basic recording tools, look at OBS Studio. It is also a free video recorder, but offers many advanced recording features. With its help, you can freely adjust your recording's parameters, like quality, format, and more. In addition, this open source screen recorder can run perfectly on both Mac and PC, even a low-end device! However, it is a little difficult to use because of its complicated UI.

Here's how to use OBS to capture videos on iTunes:

Step 1. Download and launch OBS Studio, and play the movie you want to capture on iTunes.
