I’m currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it’s really annoying. So I’m wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.

Obviously there are DRM issues, those can be fixed on windows by turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser. Is it easy to get around DRM on Mac?

Anyone have any experience or know where I can go to get help/talk about it with people?

System Specs: Intel Core i5 10400 GTX 1050 TI 16gb Ram 500gb SSD (for OS) and another 1tb SSD for recordings

I use Bandicam to record my Edge browser. Prime is a bit smoother when I make sure my PC is not running on efficiency mode, but still stutters a bit.

Netflix and Apple TV only run in 720p or worse, can't get them to get to 1080p which is my target. I have to use a 4k monitor to get Prime to play at 1080p.

Probably just easier to nix the Prime subscription and just download scene releases... Most of them are h265 these days and are released same day as on Prime.

I just checked a list of "new to prime" and my tracker and they were all there. No reason to give money to Amazon.

Unfortunately I have to screen record as I want edited content, unless you know of a place I can torrent edited content then you would be a life saver
