Hi, I am very computer literate but a complete dummy in the areas of audio and video.

Here is what I have:

A three wmv video files (total size 300 MB, about 60 minutes total playing time) on my computer to which I own a subscription. When I play the file I must be connected to the internet, enter a user name and password; something called EZDRM. I am using XP service pack 2 and WMP version 9.00.00.3250.

Here is what I want:

A DVD that I can play on my tv.

I understand that converting formats can cause degradation. I also understand that there is a variety of software (some free and some not). I would like to end up with fairly decent quality. Free would be nice but am not opposed to paying for the software IF IT WILL DO THE JOB. I have read the descriptions on some of the software packages and end up more confused than when I started.

Thanks for any advice. Skippy

PS Is this necessarily a two step process: remove DRM then convert format or is there a package that will do it all?

We only suggest DRM removal software (http://undrm.info/remove-DRM-protection/) for those who purchase video files. Please do not abuse rental licences.

Sorry, I have no intention of abusing a rental license.

I'd like to share my personal experience with you guys. Well, I downloaded many TV shows and movies which come as MKV files. You see my hard drive could hold 250G files only, as I keep downloading movies, I found that my hard drive is gonna explode soon.

So I was thinking how to handle with all my movies and TV shows. I spend time and money to download them, I'm not gonna just delete them from my computer. I thought about buying another external hard drive to store my media sources. Then one of my friend said no because once the hard drive is broken, everything in it, gone.

I used to buy DVDs and then I thought I could download my movies onto DVD disc. After that, I can even view them on my home DVD player through my big screen TV. However, I am not sure how to do that. Then I Googled and I learned that I cannot burn them as data disc cause it might not work on my home DVD player. Yes, I know that Nero is able to do the job. But Nero is just bloatware nowadays. I want a simple one. Then I came to ConvertXtoDVD . You know what, this is the simplest application to burn MKV movies to DVD ( http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/VSO_ConvertXtoDVD_-_AVI_to_DVD_Video_Converter) . What's more, I can add subtitle to the movies. God, I am so happy to find a such easy-to-use yet very useful tool.

Now I owned my movies collection. Guess you guys might need it. And now you know how to backup your movies.
