Important note about legality and terms of service
Downloading copyrighted content may violate Paramount+’s Terms of Service and local copyright laws unless you have explicit permission to download or the content is licensed for offline use. This guide is for informational purposes only. Always confirm you have the right to download any video and use downloaded content only in accordance with applicable laws and service agreements.
What SameMovie ParamountPlus Downloader does
SameMovie ParamountPlus Downloader is a third-party application designed to download videos from Paramount+ by capturing the video stream and saving it as local files (MP4/MKV). It supports choosing video quality, preserving multi-language audio tracks and subtitles, and batch downloading multiple episodes or movies.
System requirements
- Supported OS: Windows ⁄11 or macOS 10.13+ (check SameMovie site for latest compatibility).
- Internet connection for streaming and login.
- Sufficient disk space (HD video uses several GB per hour).
- Paramount+ account (active) for accessing content.
Step 1 — Download and install SameMovie
- Visit SameMovie’s official website and download the ParamountPlus Downloader installer compatible with your OS.
- Run the installer and follow on-screen prompts to install the application.
- Launch SameMovie after installation completes.
Step 2 — Log in to your Paramount+ account
- Open SameMovie; locate the “Log in” or “Account” section.
- The app may open an embedded browser or provide a login prompt. Enter your Paramount+ credentials when prompted.
- After successful login, the downloader should be able to access the service’s library. If login fails, check your credentials and internet connection.
Step 3 — Search or paste the video link
- Method A — Search built-in: Use the search box within SameMovie to find the show or movie by title.
- Method B — Paste URL: Open Paramount+ in your browser, copy the video URL from the address bar, then paste it into SameMovie’s input field and press Enter or the search/download button.
Step 4 — Choose output settings
Before starting a download, configure these options (usually in a Settings or Preferences menu):
- Output format: MP4 or MKV (MKV may preserve multiple audio tracks).
- Video quality: choose from available qualities (e.g., 720p, 1080p) depending on the source and your needs.
- Audio tracks: select preferred audio language(s) to save.
- Subtitles: choose to embed, save as separate .srt, or download none.
- Output folder: set the destination folder on your computer.
- Filename template: customize naming pattern using episode, season, title placeholders.
Step 5 — Select episodes or movie and start download
- For a movie: click the movie and press the Download button.
- For a TV series: expand the season list and check the boxes next to episodes you want, or use a “Select All” option for batch downloads.
- Confirm selected audio/subtitle options if prompted.
- Click “Download” to begin. Download speed depends on your internet connection and the app’s processing.
Step 6 — Monitor and manage downloads
- The app shows progress for each file, download speed, elapsed time, and estimated remaining time.
- You can pause, resume, or cancel downloads.
- Check the output folder when a download completes. Files will be saved with the selected format and metadata.
Handling subtitles and audio
- If you saved subtitles as separate files (.srt), most media players (VLC, MPC-HC) will load them automatically if they share the same filename as the video.
- MKV format can store multiple audio tracks and subtitle streams together; use a player that supports track selection (e.g., VLC).
- If you need to hardcode subtitles (burned into video), look for an option in SameMovie or use third-party tools like HandBrake to re-encode with burned-in subtitles.
Batch downloads and automation tips
- Use “Select All” or season-level selection for entire seasons.
- Configure output naming and folders to keep files organized by show and season.
- Limit concurrent downloads if your internet or CPU is a bottleneck.
Common troubleshooting
- Login errors: double-check credentials, clear app’s cache, or re-login.
- Download fails or stalls: try switching output format (MP4 vs MKV), restart the app, or reduce concurrent downloads.
- Missing audio/subtitles: verify selected options before downloading; use MKV for multiple tracks.
- Corrupt files: update SameMovie to latest version and ensure disk space and permissions are adequate.
Recommended playback options
- VLC Media Player (Windows/macOS/Linux) — robust support for formats, multiple audio/subtitle tracks.
- MPV — lightweight, high-quality playback with advanced options.
- Plex or Kodi — for organizing and streaming your local library to other devices.
