What is DMM TV?
DMM offers streaming services, the primary one being DMM TV, which provides some viewing resources for free, which registered users can enjoy by becoming members of DMM. Other portions, however, are paid content or content for premium members. If one wishes to view other video content, a premium membership subscription is required.
The premium membership package offered by DMM is set at 550 yen per month. Premium members can view most video resources for free each month. However, some videos require an additional fee, even for Premium members. These resources that require additional fees generally have a viewing deadline, after which the video will no longer be available.
Premium members enjoy a variety of membership privileges: they can participate in drawings for performances and prizes, and they can also earn DMM points that can be exchanged for movie tickets and other items.
Why Do I Need to Record DMM TV?
Although the cost of DMM membership can be said to be cost-effective compared to other services, things look different in situations where additional anime purchases are required: the paid videos offered by DMM have various pricing schemes, and the available viewing periods vary depending on the price.
The duration can range from 2 days to unlimited, and of course, the longer the viewing period, the higher the price. Usually, the difference between the lowest and highest price is more than 1000 yen. Hence, if you can record an animation, you can get a longer viewing right at a relatively low price.
But if you can record the screen and save the shows on your computer, you can enjoy them forever. No need to worry about the expiration date or the possibility of deletion.
