I've been reading a number of posts here about DRM and realizing I should have looked before I leaped.
Last week I gave up hope of finding some classic Kitahara Takako (still one of the best!) titles and purchased them as WMV downloads from DMM. I expected to be able to play them on VLC Media Player, but no. Nor on Windows Media Player as of July 2015. But you guys already know that. DMM wants to force you to play these files only on their player. This bugs me. I want to play my own media on the application of my choice.
Setting aside the fact that if I have paid for an item I ought to be able to use it anyway I like in the privacy of my own home, and had I purchased the DVD I could play it on any machine I wanted, it seems clear from other threads that cracking the DRM lock is nigh impossible. The practical alternative appears to be to screen capture and re-record the content as it is being played. Would Good Samaritan or Takako-loving users with experience at this contact me off-line for advice? Takako thanks you and I thank you too!
