WMV DRM to MPG?

[ChromePlanet]

Anyone know if the frameserving process can be used with Windows Media Player 10 playing a DRM-encrypted WMV file to convert it to MPEG? I move my files around a lot among several computers and keeping track of separate sets of keys for each PC is a nightmare.

The file needs to be decrypted first, then you can transcode it to a different format using AviSynth as a frameserver.
Dont know if this still works but you may want to read the following thread:

When you say "decrypted" I assume you mean simply being able to play it back in WMP10 using a valid license, which I have. Then I play the file and pipe it into AviSynth. Correct?

Is this how all the pay-per-view porn gets into the P2P networks? Or do they use capture software that does a screen grab of the video?

If it helps...
DRM is one of many copy protection schemes to prevent you from doing what you've described, playing/copying a media file somewhere else. There were a couple of methods posted in the thread I think, and many more you'll find using google or security based ;) sites, but not sure how much discussion is desired in this forum. Same sources will answer your 2nd ? too.
