A question about DRM
PaladinMJ:
I have some avi's that I paid for from Direct2drive.com that I would LOVE to watch on my DVD player as I have a small screen on the PC. The AVI's MUST be played in WMP 10 or better, the wont play in anything else I have: VLC, media player classic, powerDVD, winDVD, etc. Does anyone know of a program that will help me? either make them playable on a DVDplayer or help with the DRM.
I payed the same as I would have if I would have bought the DVD but without the extra's the menu's or the nice ephemora. I just want to watch them in comfort. I've paid for them rightfuly. Is that possible? or have I learned a costly lesson?
f0dder:
You have learned a costly lesson, I'm afraid.
There might be workarounds, but the companies behind the DRM will claim that it's illegal.
Carol Haynes:
Check out a websearch on Fairuse WMV - I believe there was an app that could help but I don't know how it works or if it still works.
Plasma Man:
Possibly DVD Fab Platinum could handle it - you could try it.

Another option is to try a transcoder such as SUPER.

Carol Haynes:
DVD Fab won't work - that just decodes DVDs and recodes stuff for portable devices.
The problem with video is that you have to play it in WMP. For DRMed audio files it is simple - burn it to CD and rip it back as MP3.
