How to Convert Netflix Videos to MP4 Without Losing Quality

Before jumping in to convert Netflix to MP4, here’s the main issue: Netflix downloads come with DRM restrictions and formats that don’t play well on most devices. Converting them to MP4 gives you a universal file you can watch offline anywhere, on your phone, TV, tablet, or media server. The key is doing it without ruining the quality. Below are the steps on how to convert Netflix to MP4.

Step 1. Install and open the Netflix video converter

Download and launch the tool on Windows or macOS. It detects your hardware and enables GPU acceleration automatically, reducing conversion time.

Step 2. Add your Netflix videos

Click the Video Converter > + Video button and import the Netflix titles you’ve downloaded. The software supports multiple files, so you can convert a whole season in one go.

Step 3. Choose MP4 (H.264) as the output format

Select MP4 H.264 from the format list. This ensures maximum compatibility across devices and platforms. If needed, choose 4K MP4 for higher resolution playback.

Adjust quality settings wisely

Quality depends on the codec of your Netflix source:

• If it’s already H.264, enable Auto Copy to avoid re-encoding — this keeps the original quality untouched.
• If converting from HEVC/H.265 or VP9, the tool re-encodes to H.264. Expect a slight, often unnoticeable quality drop.
• Editing actions like cutting, cropping, and trimming don’t reduce quality if the codec stays the same.
• Lowering bitrate, resolution, or frame rate will reduce image clarity. Increasing settings preserves detail but increases file size.

Step 4. Start the conversion

Hit RUN and let the tool process your video. Hardware acceleration uses multiple CPU cores and your GPU to finish conversions faster. A movie usually completes in minutes.

Once finished, your MP4 file is ready for offline playback — no expiration, no format errors, and no Netflix app required. You can store it on your NAS, phone, USB stick, or media player and enjoy it anytime.

How to Record Netflix to MP4 in 4K without Losing Quality

Netflix downloads are locked inside the app, expire after a period of time, and can’t be moved to other devices. Recording Netflix movies and shows in MP4 as you play the video is the only practical way to save Netflix titles as MP4 for personal offline viewing. Winxvideo AI includes a hardware-accelerated screen recorder that captures exactly what’s on your display up to 4K and 60fps.

Step 1. Launch the recorder

Open Winxvideo AI and choose Recorder from the main interface. It loads a dedicated workspace where you can manage capture settings before hitting record.

Step 2. Tweak your recording preferences

Tap the gear icon to open Settings. Here you can decide the output format (MP4), codec, frame rate (up to 60fps), shortcuts, and whether you want extras like mouse cursor display. Pick MP4 so the video plays smoothly on TVs, phones, and media servers.

Step 3. Select the area to capture

Click Screen to load your display. If you only want the Netflix player, use the Crop option to box that section. If you prefer a full-screen recording, leave the crop untouched.

Step 4. Start recording Netflix

Press REC. You get a short countdown, then everything on that area of the screen is captured in real time. If you need annotations, press the assigned hotkeys to bring up drawing tools without stopping the recording. Use the hotkey or click STOP when the video ends. The recorder immediately saves Netflix as an MP4 file, no extra conversion required. You now have a standalone video you can keep, back up, or play with VLC, Plex, or any other player.

Tip: Winxvideo AI can also record multiple monitors, which is handy if you want to keep Netflix on one display and your notes or browser on another.

How to Download Netflix Movies and Shows to MP4

If a title isn’t downloadable inside the Netflix app or you want a universal MP4 file you can keep, Winxvideo AI’s downloader lets you convert Netflix to MP4 and download Netflix videos in MP4 from supported sites and convert Netflix videos into MP4 without expiration limits.

Step 1. Open the downloader

Launch Winxvideo AI and switch to the Downloader section. This is where you add links and manage downloads.

Step 2. Copy the Netflix video link

Find the movie page in your browser and copy its URL. You can queue multiple links if you’re grabbing more than one title.

Step 3. Paste and analyze

Click Add Video and press Paste URL & Analyze. The tool reads the link and fetches available qualities and formats automatically.

Step 4. Choose MP4 and quality

Select MP4 as the output and pick the resolution you prefer, HD, Full HD, or 4K if available. Pick a folder and hit Download Now. The selected titles will be saved as MP4 files on your drive, ready for offline playback on phones, tablets, TVs, and media servers without any Netflix restrictions.
