Can I buy a TV show from Amazon Instant Video and download it to my Mac? The FAQ file is very confusing. It makes it seem like if you want to watch from a computer, you must stream it. The only time it mentions downloading is for the Kindle Fire, a device that I do not have, and I don't have a need for it either.

All I want to do is buy the show from Amazon, and download the video files. From there, I can just open the video files and watch them. Is that supported? Also, are these files protected in some way? I have a video converter, and I would really like to convert them to MP4 so I can watch them on my iPod Touch.

They make you download a special player to download the videos, and that player doesn't work on a Mac. So to speak, you cannot download Amazon Instant Video to Mac directly. Besides, Amazon bought files are DRM protected. However, you can still get Amazon purchased movies, TV shows onto a Mac for enjoying. Below is the step-by-step guide that walks you through the process on how to download & transfer files from Amazon Instant Video to a Mac. Keep reading.
