Sky and MS DRM?

[nomorecoasters]

My dad has Sky and and has just signed up for Sky Anytime where you can download films/sports etc from sky to watch on your PC.

I tried to encode to DVD today but was just getting error messages.

Now in the FAQ it says http://anytime.sky.com/faqs/faqs_pc.aspx

Sky Anytime on PC securely delivers content via the internet. Once the file has been downloaded, Microsoft Digital Rights Management software will prevent unauthorised viewing and will automatically delete the file from your PC once your licence to view it expires.

He wants to encode and burn the .wmv films to DVD?

Faiuse4wm was recommeneded to me but im not sure if you use it to be able to encode to DVD and burn and whether all it does it allow you to watch the film after the license has expired or maybe he was doing something wrong?

I did post in the Fairuse4wm thread but wasnt sure if it applied to getting round the drm so it can be burned to disc?

Hi!He gets a countdown timer saying how many days left to watchYou are describing a rental license.

You might want to RE-read the "Announcement" at the top of the "Newbies" sub-forum, as well as all of the Forum Rules (particularly #6)...

OOPS........sorry i wrote description wrong, have now edited it. :)

Good point, what i meant to ask was how can he convert a film like this so he watch it later on DVD a film which he has bought from sky and downloaded to PC?

From your original question and the quote which setarip has made, it is clear your dad has a rented video clip.

Sorry, we can't help. Please read rule 6.
