Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

Is there an explanation of how to remove DRM from WMV for complete idiots who know nothing about computers, a simple step by step?

Please let me know if the following tutorials are too complicated for you:

HowTo Instructions for Removing DRM with drmdbg & FreeMe2 (from Windows Media Player)

I would consider doing a batch rename if I could figure out how to get past the "No ENABLINGBITS elements in license!" problem. I use EF Multi File Renamer

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

I just downloaded the latest drmdbg and freeme2, and seem to have gotten it all to work. I drag a protected .wma onto Freeme2 and presto - a "Freed-awesome song" file pops out. The problem is, when I play this freed track, it sounds like fingernails on the chalkboard for about 5 seconds and then quits. I saw that someone else had this problem a while back but didnt really see a solution given. This is the closest I've gotten to getting this thing to work since Rhapsody/MS forced the updates. So, if anyone could explain how to fix this problem, I'd really appreciate it. Also, as I put it in my last post, explain it as if I were slightly retarded, so that I might understand. Thanks

Despite the great tutorials I prefer a script to automate the DRM removal. Check out the attached script and see if it works for you. The script must be renamed to "pilatesdrm.js".

Code:

// Put this script somewhere on your system together with FreeMe2.exe and

// dmrdbg.exe. Run drmdbg to generate the keys and then run the script.

// The script will not enter sub-directories.



function ReadIni()

{

  var ForReading = 1;

  var line;

  var fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

  var dso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary");

  var ts = fso.OpenTextFile("drmdbg.ini", ForReading);

  var key, w, subkey, val;

  while (!ts.AtEndOfStream) {

    line = ts.ReadLine();

    if (line.substr(0, 1) == "[" && line.substr(line.length - 1, 1) == "]") {

      key = line.substr(1, line.length - 2);

      dso.add(key, WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary"));

    }

    else {

      w = line.split("=");

      if (w.length == 2) {

        subkey = w[0];

        val = w[1];

        if (subkey == "path") {

          // val = val.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\');

          // val = val.replace(/ /g, '\\ ');

          // WScript.Echo(key + "," + subkey +  "," + val);

        }

        dso.item(key).item(subkey) = val;

        // WScript.Echo(key + "," + subkey +  "," + val);

      }

    }

  }

  return dso;

}





function ReadKeys(ini)

{

  var ForReading = 1;

  var line;

  var fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

  var dso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary");

  var kpath = ini.item("drm2dir").item("path");

  var ts;

  var sid, kid;

  if (ini.item("MakeDRM2Dir").item("0_or_1") == 1)

    ts = fso.OpenTextFile(kpath + "DRM2\\DRM2.KEY", ForReading);

  else

    ts = fso.OpenTextFile(kpath + "DRM2.KEY", ForReading);

  while (!ts.AtEndOfStream) {

    line = ts.ReadLine();

    if (line.substr(0, 5) == "<KID>") {

      kid = line.substr(5).substr(0, line.length - 11);

Ugh!!!! Yes! Same exact problem here. Except I use Napster which refuses to download anything without the latest IBX.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

Have the same problem with some movies.
After hours of trying, I have retrieved a key, the SID, the ini file.
When i drag the protected moviefile to freeme2, it creates a 56kb size file with 5 seconds of blur.

Re: freeme2 - free software to remove DRM protection from Windows Media WMA,WMV,ASF f

so does this mean the enabling bits problem is solved?
