How to Download Netflix Movies to MP4 [Full Guide]

1. What is the Format of Netflix Download?

The format of Netflix downloads is a proprietary format known as "Netflix Download." When you download a movie or TV show from Netflix, it is stored in encrypted form using their own DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. This ensures that the downloaded content can only be played within the Netflix app and cannot be shared or distributed illegally. The specific technical details and specifications of the Netflix Download format are not publicly disclosed by Netflix.

2. How to Find Netflix Downloads Location on PC or Phone?

• Open File Explorer on your PC.

  C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Packages\4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8\LocalState\offlineInfo\downloads
• Replace [YourUsername] with your actual username on Windows.
• In the "downloads" folder, you will find subfolders with random names representing different downloaded Netflix titles.

• Within this folder, look for a file with a long string of random characters and no extension. This is the encrypted video file downloaded from Netflix.

On Android:

• Open the file manager app on your Android device.
• Navigate to the internal storage or SD card (if available).
• Look for a folder named "Android" and open it.
• Next, open the "data" folder, followed by the "com.netflix.mediaclient" folder.

3. Can We Convert Netflix Downloads to MP4?
