Does anyone know of a WMV decrypter?

[niemie]

First of all, I don't even know how to tell if a wmv file is encrypted, but I am assuming since the one I downloaded won't play, it is. So if that is true, does anyone know of an app out there that decrypts wmv files?

hi

I dont know about 'decrypting' - Windows media player 9 plays my .wmv files without any problems, but maybe this will help -
I use 'StoikVideoConverter10' to convert my wmv files into mpg.
I suppose if nothing else works, that may help.

hope it works out for you

If it has DRM then you're pretty much out of luck if you don't have a license. People have been trying to get round the DRM on certain WMV files on another forum I visit in order to burn them to disc/convert them to mpeg for a good while. Even with the license (which states no converting/copying) no-one as yet has managed it. Now it's a fansite and not a tech forum, so maybe someone here is more knowledgable, but as yet no-one has had any success.

How can you tell if it has DRM? I downloaded it from a streaming site (PBS) and have the file on my HD, its a wmv file using a codec I know I have, it just won't play. I get the error "C00D1199: Cannot play the file" in Windows Media Player 10.
