There are many people who want to save FANZA videos, one of the largest AV platforms in Japan, or remove DRM protection from FANZA downloads. In this way, you don't need a DMM Player to play the video and can save the downloaded content forever.
In this article, we will explain how to download DRM-protected content on FANZA to solve your problems. From the explanation of FANZA and its DRM tech to the tutorial on DRM removal, this post covers you all the way.
What is FANZA?
To begin with, let's explore the features of FANZA. As one of the leading adult video distribution sites in Japan, FANZA released a lot of original adult content, which is welcomed by many users worldwide.
Different from other pure streaming services like Pornhub, FANZA also boasts other adult content like e-books, anime, and adult games. To sum up, you can find all the adult entertainment on FANZA.
FANZA offers a Japanese and English version for international users. You can subscribe to the channel you like, and purchase and rent AV here at a reasonable price. However, videos purchased on FANZA are usually protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management).
What is FANZA DRM?
So what is FANZA DRM and what can it cause? DRM is a technology used for copyright protection, which can restrict playback to only certain devices or applications. For FANZA, nearly all videos, be they rentals, downloads, or subscription-based content, are protected by DRM.
The biggest effect of DRM is that audiences are only allowed to play downloaded videos with a dedicated player, namely, DMM Player. Because of DRM, downloaded rentals are only available within a certain period of time.
Therefore, due to the DRM protection, you can only download FANZA videos based on these limits:
- FANZA videos are downloaded in a special format, such as dcv. and wmv.
- Generally speaking, you can't edit or move the downloads, or transfer them into other formats.
- All the downloaded content, especially the rentals, is settled with an offline viewing deadline.
- You need to re-download (renew) the videos when the deadline reaches.
- The downloads all get a watermark and can only be played within DMM Player, to protect copyright.
Because of the above limitations, care should be taken when using FANZA's official download function.
How to Download Videos on FANZA?
Before introducing how to remove DRM from FANZA, I'd explain how to officially download videos on FANZA. In fact, it's pretty easy. But you need to install DMM Player in advance to download and play the videos you purchased:
- Step 1: Log in to the official FANZA website: FANZA (dmm.co.jp)
- Step 2: Select the video you like and complete the purchase procedure.
- Step 3: Once your purchase is complete, click the "Download" button.
- Step 4: A download link will appear, click on it to download the video.
You can also navigate to the download window by clicking "Video" and browse all the content you've purchased. As we can see, FANZA's official download procedure is relatively simple and straightforward. But it still poses all the limits we mentioned above.
