Re: Removing DRM from WMV ???

Guess I'll have to elaborate

I captured some free videos from VH1 site. The streaming videos can only be opened with Windows Media Player 9 after getting licence online. Than you have, I think, 15 plays offline and then you have to obtain another online licence.

I captured it with WM Recorder (first I extracted URL with Get ASF protocol analysis). It was not recorded!!! I was playing streaming video with WMP9 and WM Recorder was capturing it, so DRM stayed in saved file.

Once again the videos are free to view but they protected it with DRM so you can't freely copy it.
Also saved video can only be played with WMP9, so nothing like VCL works (I tried believe me).

That's why I need something to remove DRM. If it was WMA there would be no problem but videos are much more difficult to work with. In the end I would use Total Recorder for DRM protected WMA to transcode, but how I'm supposed to do something like that with video???
