Keeping video files that expire... (Nerd Question)

[BusterStacks]

Has anyone ever seen these video files that allow you to watch them for a certain amount of time, like a rental? How can I get around this and keep the film?

are you talking about the DMA licensing bit?

Yea i think. I should be able to use my nerd powers to do this but I was just wondering if I could save some time.

Film it with your digital video camera; re-upload to your computer?

unfortunately DRM 2 has yet to be cracked. from what i hear it's a real bitch. i think i read an article the other day that said some japanese group had claimed to crack it, but nothing came of it. anyways good luck with that..

You're SOL for now. DRM2 is pretty solid. Just go here and get a bunch of free codes for movielink. All you have to do is delete your cookies each time and use a different email address. I got about 75 download codes in 30 minutes or so.

Actually this is a DRM 1 file. Anything for that?

[Freakin]

The guy who wrote DeCSS cracked DRM1. You can give his software a shot here. Don't ask me how to use it, I haven't the faintest idea.

Japanese group info here

What kind of video file is it? It's not a TivoToGo file, is it (cause thats easy)?
