I currently would record with obs, but this requires to stop at the right time and my mouse cursor is visible at the beginning. Do you have some tips for recording?

It may sound obvious, but doesn't OBS have an option to disable mouse recording?

And I didn't know that OBS could record DRM content, I had read that disabling hardware acceleration could do it but I never tried it.

Stop and take the time to learn how to WEB-DL.

when i started out it was hard to find content about WEB-DL but once you know what to search about it's pretty easy figuring things out. maybe people need a guide to it

You can use hotkeys in OBS, e.g spacebar to start/stop recording

You can also use a remote app like OBS Blade to control it now.

and since you know how long a title is, you can set the recording timer. or for auto-playing (like a series, start to finish) use the auto split feature then clean up the splits later (several titles in one file, or one per file) with avidemux.

You could use avidemux to cut the video file, avidemux should be able to do this quickly and without transcoding
