I've got a file from BBC iPlayer, it's a WMV with DRM.

Is there a way to convert this to another format?

Ideally I'd like to do this without significant loss, and suitable for later burning on a DVD. Oh, and free would be nice! :)

Because of the DRM, its not easy to convert. One of the few bits of software I've found which apparently legally does it is Daniusoft Media Converter. Although the process is done slightly faster than real time, there will be some quality loss as it actually re-records the stream while playing it but I found the results to be acceptable.

PS. Its not free! Tried loads of free solutions but had many issues!
