Maybe - if you have a TV-OUT socket on your pc video card/laptop, you can hook your PC up to a TV, then capture the image/audio from the TV to a vcr/DVR. Then import that back to your pc and re-encode and author to DVD (not necessary if you have a DVR).
In order to burn it to DVD you first have to convert it to a DVD compliant spec, and that's not possible without breaking the DRM. However, if you can rig your pc to play on your tv, your VCR/DVR should just capture whatever is showing on the screen (unless DRM WMV has some kind of inbuilt Macrovision-like technology).
It's a lot of effort for an 11 minute clip, though.

it's easier to burn to VCD (most dvd players can handle this). Something like nero will do it no problem - you just select the video files (think it accepts most formats other than quicktime) and it automatically selects vcd format.

I guess we should find "enjoyable" watching the video on our computer screen ? The quality is poor, less than a standard VCD mpeg file.

Cyberclips were more "enjoyable" and cheaper... so what privilege do we pay for ?

Huh?

I burn video files on to CD-R and then play them in my DVD player no problems. Not as good as DVD perhaps but I can watch it on my TV on disc all the same.

It's a cheap Samsung DVD player but can play Windows Media Video and all kinds of stuff just so long as u don't make the file names too big.

Simple. smile

He's asking about DMR protected files, and currently you can't do it, at least with Nero.
gsh answer is the only method i can think of, but that's a a lot of work...

This just gets dumber and dumber. I was actually considering using a friends computer to buy this video and burn it to a DVD. I am not interested in watching videos on my computer screen, I have a home theater for that.
