Converting Warner Archive download to DVD?

[marknyc5]

I'd like to but a WB archive download, but I want to be able to convert it to a DVD for TV viewing (not on my computer). I'm buying outright, not renting.

Has anyone had success in doing this? The FAQ says you must have a Dell program:

Q:Can I Burn a Video to a DVD?

A:You can burn a copy of a downloaded rental or ""buy"" title to DVD for storage purposes only. These files are Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected, so you will only be able to watch the video on the computer or device on which it was originally purchased. The video, even though it is burned on a CD or DVD, will still be unavailable to you after your viewing period has expired. As such, storing video files to disc is not recommended for rental films because the viewing period is so short; however, we do feel that this is a good solution for storage of Download-to-Own files, as your viewing period is unlimited. Windows Media Player 10 sometimes does not allow burned copies of protected files, so you may get an error when using WMP 10 to burn the storage only copy of a title to DVD. Please contact Microsoft to help troubleshoot this problem. If you do use another program to copy your video file to a CD or DVD, the same rules apply with regards to playback. Currently you will only be able to play the file back on the computer where you originally made the purchase (where the license is stored). For titles which are allowed to be Burned to DVD and played back in a DVD player, you must purchase a Qflix DVD burner by Dell. This DVD burner comes with a special application that allows you to burn select titles to a DVD that is viewable on your TV.

I think you are running into DRM. It may permit you to play the stored contents of the file on the downloading PC for a limited time, but I really doubt it will let you create a DVD that will play on any system. That would defeat the purpose of DRM.

The problem is they own the rights to the video, not you. And they can decide how you use the downloaded video.

I haven't actually tried it yet. I was hoping someone here had and knew how to get around DRM.
