For Mac devices, you also can do a screen recording using QuickTime. You do need to down load the free sound flower driver. Then you set your output as soundflower 64 instead of the computer. You won¡¯t be able to hear the audio while the movie is running, but it will be captured in the screen recording.
The last super easy, platform non-specific option would be to start a zoom meeting, turn off your video, hit record, share screen and select the crafty movie as the share, then start it playing. One nice thing about this is it will generate an integrated MP4 movie, and also an audio only track, for things that you are just as happy to listen to only.

Mary,?
You can download lessons to watch offline but only via their app. So it is not a long term solution because once they stop supporting their apps and the OS changes, the apps may not work. There are two apps: Craftsy which only apparently?allows downloading to IOS and Bluprint which allows downloading to Android and IOS. I have the Craftsy app.
Now, some Android users on Ravelry have reported that they can download and then connect the device to their computer and then can see the files and are able to move them to the computer. The files have names with numbers, but are .mp4 files.?
I only have IOS devices here so I can't tell you if that works. It is not possible on an IOS device. I tried various software programs yesterday and none worked.?
However, on my Mac, I am able to record the video as it is playing using the new screenshot manager in Mojave. I have not upgraded to Catalina yet. But it only supports the microphone, not internal audio. I found a plug-in that will record the internal audio but I haven't tried it yet. Possibly today. There is apparently something similar for Windows?
There is also this?
"I am currently trying out OBS studio on my HP laptop, windows 10. It is free.
Edit: link here:?says it has versions for Windows, Mac and Linux"and she reports that it worked.
AND, the CEO of Bluprint?has posted on Twitter and apparently on their website that they are looking into solutions for those who purchased what they called 'forever' classes.?
Right now I have downloaded the classes that I want to keep onto my iPad and will investigate the options for recording. This will only give you the resolution that your computer display is capable of so you may not then be able to watch it on a larger TV/display without pixelation. So if they provide a download option,. that will be better as that is HD.?
There are multiple threads on Ravelry but the one on Demon Trolls (which is a pretty tech savvy and is focused on unearthing things regarding fiber businesses that take advantage of people or provide poor service.??is particularly helpful.?
Jaya,? I think I'm correct when I write that you can download them to watch later, but that will only work while the site is still "alive".? It's not a long term solution.? Is my thinking right on that?
But knowing that you are very computer savvy,? if you know how these classes can be downloaded so that we can have access even after the site is not longer functional,? share it.
Any tech help we can get with this, is welcome.? I'll try anything to capture my content.
Mary.
