I need to play a windows media movie on another player....becuase the winblows media player will not let me...says i need a liscence....is there another player that will let me do that?

or a program that will convert it to an avi or somthing?

or could someone point me in the direction of a good avi recorder?

thanks

Hmm...that protection was designed so that it could only be viewed with a license. Thus, the reason it was licensed. There may be a program out there that does it, may probably won't be very good nor mainstream.
 
Hmm...those kazaa adult movies ;) But seriously, I tried researching this for you, and I get nowhere. It just keeps saying that you need a license, period. Have you tried converting it? The program might not be able to even do that since it can't read it without the license. My suggestion would be to move on. I think it would be big news if there were such a player, and would no doubt be taken offline very fast.
 
Yeah,
I found this website that you can download movies for like 2 bucks and you can view them for 24hours...i was trying to convert them to avi or mpeg or soemthing so i could keep them since i did pay for them..but thanks anyway.

Yeah, shame you can't. But...I suppose that's their point...eliminates piracy. Personally though, I think all those online movie websites are useless.

For only $4...why not just go to Blockbuster and rent the movies? It'll be full screen, and they don't have anti-piracy protection. Not that I condone that... :)
 
heh yeah..i just thought that you can download it and then you had a copy.....but yes blockbuster is the better choice...
thanks again..
 
Not that you would ever copy a tape rented from Blockbuster ;)

Although, it's quite easy and simple to do. The rented movie and a blank tape costs about $5 combined. Not that I would know...

But from a legal standpoint, at most Blockbusters you can buy VHS tapes for about $5-7. These are the full tapes in the box. With DVD's being the current norm...tapes are going at crazy prices.
 
Or you could just join Columbia House...get the 5 DVD's sent...and not pay the bill. I've heard of people getting thousands of DVD's this way...

PS: The people were all arrested and are now in jail...but don't let that defer a dream! :)
 
Nice! Closest I got to good speakers was when I borrowed a 2.1 system that actually had a seperate sub. Although, it sucks because I live in an apartment...so I basically can't play anything...even at the lowest settings. I have a 240 shelf system...and can't turn it up past 3...and 3 is horribly quiet!
