    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    I can't confirm all of this for 100% since checking everything would need some serious effort, but here is what it looks like: 1. videos added since 2015.07.01 won't work in WMP, it will refuse to initialize the playback. 2. new purchases of videos that were released before 2015.07.01 may not...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    Ignore my last post. From what I can see, not only video files from new videos come with updated format (which is incompatible with WMP due to header/codec issues), but some older videos also come with new format now, which may mean their intention to convert most of their files at some point.

    Apparently WMP support is still working for DMM/R18, but of course it's unknown for how long. Maybe it was intentional to mark the last 15 days as "working but not guaranteed" as a preparation for actual server shutdown. Or maybe they will left it working until server certificate expires.

    Notice for anyone who is into wmv drm: most web stores that use WMDRM are announcing they are stopping their license servers somewhere near june-july. It's because Microsoft is stopping any further support for such servers and require everyone to shut them down. If I read it right, for DMM...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    Just noticed that there are certain jav torrents containing seemingly "usual" MKV releases, except they are really big (>5GB, up to 40GB). Upon closer inspection they appear to be actually drm-free WMV files, renamed to MKV. Seems like whoever is doing those decided it's a waste of resources to...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    I strongly disagree. No precise color control, no precise seek control, no codec configuration, no miltiple instances support. Not only that, but also - to properly play latest formats you have to install 3rd party codecs (also subtitles support), meaning most of video processing may as well go...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    You will never have exact quality when using re-encoding software. Even at maximum quality, when you get 1.5x-2x of original filesize, quality will seem same but upon closer look you'll see the difference. My guess is that censored videos initially have quality loss due to censorship +...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    Wrong, as far as I'm aware. They are same and will have same seeking problem when dealt with the same way. I disagree. People should use video players they like. And 3rd party video players and codecs can work well with wmv.

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    Files from r18 = files from dmm, they don't have anything extra, just different encryption/decryption keys. Seeking problem is trivial for protected files, and there are codecs that can properly seek through them without re-indexing (e.g. LAV filters work fine for me). I will also be sending a...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    In case that helps anyone, it's possible to change password and remove/change most of personal information in the account before sharing it. As for quality, I agree - on dmm it could be far better with that bitrate they provide. I suggest to only buy full-hd videos (they are >4gb usually), at...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    I can now offer a better process for decryption which I think should work just fine. - You need to share login-pass, download the tool (500kb) and run it with the code I give, 1 code per file. This way you get them decrypted locally. - I don't need to download full videos or upload them back. I...

    Lossy unDRM software recommendations?

    I'd like to assist people who want to get lossless drm-free versions of their wmv files. My first priority currently is hq videos from dmm/r18 (seems like they have biggest collection of censored av ever produced). I'd like to see more lossless WMV uploads. Message me with details about account...
