How to remove DRM from BBCiplayer files.....

[mrbob3]

Google cant help me so maybe you guys can.

Theres a video on bbci player at the mo about a girl who texts behind the wheel of her car and kills everyone. Its great lol and i want to show this to my friend on monday but the video expires tomorrow.

Im looking for a media convertor that will remove the DRM so i can burn the video clip to dvd to watch anytime.

I have searched google for DRM removal tools and found 2. danuisoft media convetor and aimersoft media convertor. Neither work. 3 seconds after pressing convert, they just say "done" and nothing is in the output folder.

I dont know if these programs are scams, they dont actually work or its impossible to remove DRM but im really at a loose end. Every search on google leads me to these 2 progs (which are strangely the same, but slightly different GUI`s)

So i need to ask you guys for help, is it actually possible with a media convertor prog?

Thanks

Yeah thats the vid but the full one is 30 mins long. It was screened on bbc3 last monday and no plans for a repeat.

Ive been lucky enough to find the video on a torrent site and it works great. Im in the process of burning it to dvd as we speak.

Ive looked into DRM removal and i think standalone players are fake. There are 2 programs and they need you to extract keys and copy files into windows and complicated stuff like this........

"2007-04-29 FIX" - VISTA ONLY!!!

WMP11/DRM FIX RUNNING UNDER WINDOWS VISTA:
==========================================

The only way right now to allow FairUse4WM 1.3(fix) to work on Windows Vista is to have it run under Windows XP using Virtual PC 2007 in Vista (freeware download from microsoft website).
===
1. Download Virtual PC 20007 from Microsoft.com (just do a search for it, and you'll get a download link)

LINK: Windows Virtual PC: Home Page
===
2. Create a virtual harddrive, Windows XP, and using a Windows XP SP1 or later disc, install XP on your virtual machine (DO NOT DO ANY WINDOWS UPDATES! Be sure to activate though, or else you can't use XP more than 30 days)
===
3. Once your virtual XP machine is up and running in Virtual PC, install the included WMP11.exe file. This will install WMP verison "11.0.5705.5043" which works with FairUse4WM 1.3(fix)
===
4. Once the installation is complete, you need to individualize your computer (if you are choosing to use the URGE music store, just download urge and run it, it will auto-individualize)...for everyone else using another service, individualize using this site...

LINK: Security component upgrade
===
5. Run your subscription program and download a few songs while logged into your subscription account
===
6. Run FairUse4WM and click "Recover Keys"...NOTE: you may need to click "Skip" on the last step, or you will never get past this step.
===
7. DONE! Enjoy.


I cant believe DRM removal is so damn complex! :-(
