crack DRM...

[jupiter999]

Need help here!
Does anyone knows how to crack DRM inside Windows Media Video files?
These video files are so-called "protected files". They need to be verified before playable. You have to acquire a license from internet each time you want to play them, thus irritating!
I have some concert clips created by my favourite female singer's fans. But they lock them using such annoying DRM encryption...
Now the forum gone, and I no longer able to get such license already, hence cannot play the clips anymore...:rofl:
Help me...:fever:

If you have the license, it's easy to remove DRM (provided you have WMP9; WMP11 does not work).

If you don't have the license anymore, you're more or less out of luck.

really no method of bypassing the DRM without the license??

Unfortunately (to the best of my knowledge) no one has cracked Microsoft's Windows Media DRM. The only methods I know of (FairUse4WM, FreeMe2, etc) exploit a loophole in WMP9 that allows someone with the correct license to decrypt a media file as is normally done for playback, but dump the contents into a new un-DRM'd file. But you still need the license to do this in the first place.

There are other tools like Tunebite which will convert DRM formats into other non-DRM formats (eg: re-encoding a video to AVI format); but without the original license it still cannot read the files.

DRM sucks plain and simple, and there's really no way around it. The only advice I can offer is to strip DRM as soon as possible with any new DRM-protected files you get before the licenses expire.
