TunePat Amazon Video Downloader: Review, Guide & Alternative

When I first tried to save Amazon Prime Video titles for offline viewing, I quickly ran into the usual roadblocks: not every title is downloadable, downloads expire after 30 days, and once you start watching, you often have only 48 hours to finish. You can’t move the files to a USB drive or NAS, and if your subscription ends, your downloads are gone too.

If all you want is a quick offline backup, these rules are frustrating. That’s why tools like TunePat Amazon Video Downloader exist: they promise permanent MP4/MKV copies from Prime Video, with 1080p quality and 5.1 audio. In this article, I’ll walk you through:

A Simple Intro: What Is TunePat Amazon Video Downloader?

TunePat Amazon Video Downloader is a neat little tool I stumbled on that lets you grab movies and shows straight from Amazon Prime Video and stash them on your computer. It’s got 1080p output, and you can even pick audio or subtitle tracks.

How much is it?

TunePat sells its Amazon Video Downloader as a paid product. The free trial only lets you download the first few minutes of each video, which is mainly for testing functionality. On TunePat’s own site, the typical pricing for the Amazon Video Downloader is:

Promotional discounts and region-specific prices do appear, so the exact numbers may fluctuate slightly. If we're talking value, I'd peg TunePat somewhere in the mid-to-high price range for Amazon downloaders. Not the bargain bin, but not outrageously expensive either.

Is it safe & legal to use?

From a technical perspective, TunePat should be a normal desktop program. Well, VirusTotal doesn't think so, and it shows a BScope.Trojan.ProxyChanger warning. But, in my own test setup, I didn’t encounter any malware-like behavior (no suspicious background processes, no browser extensions secretly installed, etc.).

Moreover, the other 71 detection engines didn't report anything(but they probably will if you are scanning a TunePat Amazon Prime Video Downloader crack), so it's very likely a false positive, but that's just a possibility. I suggest you scan it yourself or run it in a sandbox. Better safe than sorry.

For legality, where you have to be careful is how you use it. Amazon’s terms of use are quite strict about copying and redistributing content. So it should be noted that it is only for personal learning or offline viewing, and should not be disseminated or used commercially. And you'd better not be too show-off, like downloading 500 titles a day. If you do so, I can do nothing except pray for your Prime Video account.

My personal advice is:

• ✅ Use for personal learning/offline viewing only
• ✅ Do not share or use for commercial purposes
• ✅ When using third-party tools, avoid large-scale downloads to reduce account risk

Tested Pros & Cons of Amazon Prime Video Downloader

Now let's check if it's really powerful like it advertised, or just being Pinocchio here. For references and in order to minimise test errors, this is my setup and the test environment.

Resolution & bitrate

During the test, I picked 1080p with a bitrate of 15,000 kb/s. Honestly, I was a little taken aback at first: Prime Video maxes out around 15,200 kb/s online. Can it really match that, giving me truly lossless offline playback? I mean, it sounds almost too good.

The result really shocked me again, in a bad way. It sure outputs a 1080p MP4 file(MKV if you like, remember to change the format in the settings), but the bitrate is only 3140 kb/s. That's A DISTANCE to what it has written in the quality options.

Audio & soundtrack

The sound quality is exactly as advertised. I managed to get a genuine EAC3 5.1 audio track. The only slightly troublesome part is that if you don’t specifically request it, it won’t show the 5.1 audio option at first. In other words, you need to go into the settings and manually enable it before downloading, then repeat the download process to get EAC3 5.1. Although it thoughtfully asks you whether you want to enable this setting before the download starts, since it’s ultimately up to the user to choose between AAC and EAC3 5.1, why not just show all the options from the beginning instead of hiding them?

Moreover, it adds the EAC3 5.1 audio to the video, instead of replacing the AAC one. That's pretty annoying if you want the default quality to be the best, and now you have to change the soundtrack manually while playing. But after all, it's not a particularly serious issue, so deduct a few points as appropriate.

Subtitle & metainfo

It has 3 subtitle options. They are internal subtitles, external subtitles, and hard-coded subtitles. In simple words, they are built-in and can-be-toggled subtitles, standalone subtitle files, and always-on subtitles. And for external subtitles, it can output the subtitle to the original format or SRT format. I checked and found no issues with unsynchronised content, wrong language, or incomplete display. Approved.

As for the metainfo, you can see from the MediaInfo screenshot above that it is still quite complete. It is more than enough for ordinary users, but for data hoarders with home servers, it does not support custom file name structures, which is a bit of a pity.

Speed & stability

The download speed fluctuates between a peak of 5.7MB/s and 6MB/s. It's not particularly fast, especially for large movies or shows with many episodes that are each quite long. Speaking of this, its much-touted batch download feature is rather disappointing. It can't actually download 2 or 3 videos at the same time; so-called batch downloading just means adding programs to the queue in bulk. Is it convenient? Only a little.

GUI & ease-of-use

When it comes to the GUI, just listening to me talk about it doesn’t mean much, after all, aesthetics are very subjective. So you can take a look at the usage screenshots below or try following the steps yourself to see whether you think it looks good or not. As for ease of use, TunePat Amazon Video Downloader performs reasonably well. It’s not as difficult to use as command-line tools like yt-dlp, nor does it have a panel as complex as software like OBS, which is almost as complicated as a Boeing 747. You could say that even if you’re a beginner, there’s no need to worry about not being able to use it or not knowing how.

So what is my overall rating for it? I would give it a 3.6 out of 5. If it could improve a bit more in terms of output quality and ease of use, then its overall performance would barely match its price. If you’re wondering whether there are any more versatile options, you can keep reading to see which one I use most often.

A Better Choice: StreamFab Amazon Video Downloader

Here it is. My daily routine for offline viewing of Prime Video titles. What is the difference between this and TunePat Amazon Video Downloader? Please let me explain in detail.

StreamFab Amazon Video Downloader

More convenience, better output quality, and more flexible configurations, with a level of ease-of-use remains.

What makes it different:

• Customizable file name, which is a cheer for data hoarders
• Save effort via auto-downloading, which downloads new episodes automatically
• CVBR & CBR bitrate support to fit your download in limited device storage

  Free Download

  Free Downoload

Like what I said above, with the same 1080p, EAC3 5.1 audio, subtitles, and any other similar features served, StreamFab Amazon Video Downloader offers a higher bitrate and more customizable settings than TunePat.

*I was about to tell how they are reviewed by other users here, but TunePat-video gets very few reviews on Trustpilot, unlike StreamFab, with 608 reviews, and remains 4.5/5 stars. And the latest review it received was a year ago. So skip it.

Conclusion

I believe you must, or at least, have a preliminary impression of TunePat Amazon Video Downloader. It is a user-friendly, Amazon-focused tool that delivers 1080p MP4/MKV files with optional 5.1 audio and flexible subtitle handling. Its interface is simple, and it works as advertised in most everyday scenarios.

However, my tests show that its real video bitrate is lower than the UI suggests, its download speed is middle-of-the-pack, and the lack of flexibility means it’s not ideal if you’re building a high-end archive. StreamFab Amazon Downloader, on the other hand, offers stronger audio quality, broader platform coverage, batch/auto-download, and more advanced control, but with similar simple operation steps.

Whichever tool you pick, I strongly recommend using it only for personal offline viewing, respecting copyright, and keeping your downloads under control to minimize any account-related risk.
