Hello,

I don't think I'm breaking any posting rules by asking this question but if I did I am sorry. I have fully downloaded some video files with a .wmv extension I've tried to convert these using Stoik, TMPGEnc, Virtualdub 1.3, asftools and videoconvert and windows media encoder 9. The video files are licesed files that require a user name and password to view the first time but do not after the first time the video is played.Is there any way to convert these files or should I just give up hope. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone who helps.

TMPGEnc doesn't support WMVs, so rename the file to .asf and convert to MPG.

Please let me know if it worked.

they are encrypted give up hope !

I've tried to rename them to asf and it didn't work. but I guess if they're encrypted thats the end of it. If anybody can tell me different I'll take suggestions.

Is breaking the encryption illegal? I mean, if its yours, doesn't it also fall under fair use?

[sunblade]

I would think that since it's mine I can do what I want with it that's why it's offered for download, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with breaking the encryption.

It would take some long hours. examine it in hex. that is the usuall place to start.
