James Bunt Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I downloaded.wma movie and before I can play it a prompt appears from Microsoft asking me to update my DRM components before I am able to play the movie. I've read a bit about DRM (digital rights management) but what actually happens if I were to update the darn thing? Im still a bit iffy cuz it seems like a corporate scam to crack down on piraters and such.
Gryph Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Just use a different media player like Media Player Classic (not affiliated with Microsoft).
Gryph Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Damn...well then I don't know. What movie did you get and from where?
James Bunt Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 I tried the DivX player that was bundled with DivX5.0.3 but it doesn't seem to recognize the wma format.
Wizard Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 WMA is Windows Media Audio guys. DRM is a license authentication process. And uh, theres a handful of google stuff you can find to deautherize it.
James Bunt Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 Whoops, I meant WMV, oh well, so close but whatever. And I've given up already, if it takes more than posting a topic in a forum it ain't worth it.
