Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Nobody knows whether there will be any new updates or not.

You may try a virtual machine (either VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC). Just install Windows XP (assuming you have your Windows XP install/upgrade disc) on it and run the beta version of WMP 11 if your purchase requires it.

Alternatively you can:

• Make a fresh installation of Windows XP
• Use CademiaX hack to install Windows Media Player 10 on Windows Vista or XP

You can also try lossy DRM removal software like Soundtaxi

Stream Recorder?

How does Microsoft Virtual PC work? if you don't mind sharing such info or guiding me to the right place to find such info...

Why using Windows XP on Virtual PC or WM Ware?

 

Virtual PC is like having a virtual computer. It runs on a virtual harddrive on your main harddrive. You can set up a shared folder to share files beween your main OS and the virtual one.

With Virtual PC you can run one or even multiple other operating systems from your Windows XP or Windows Vista. Here we're interested in running Windows XP that fullfills the requirements of Fairuse4wm as a virtual OS.

In this virtual OS you log in onto your media content provider's web-site and download DRM protected files. Then use Fairuse4wm to remove DRM protection and put the unDRMed files into shared folder. You will immediately get access to the DRM-free files from your main OS.

It's much easier compared to having one more copy of Windows XP on your PC, 'coz you don't have to reboot and boot under different OS each time you wanna use another OS. You just run Virtual PC or WM Ware, hit the play button on the virtual OS to run it. Then use it as long as you need, then stop it and you're again in the main OS. It's like a snap!

Just don't update your virtual Windows XP. Or at least make sure to apply updates selectively.

thank you very much...i will play around with it..sounds easy enough, again thank you

Re: Download FairUse4WM - strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 9,10,11 WMV,

 

Hi,

FairUse4WM does not work on my laptop (Windows XP) provided by my company. When I doubleclick on the FairUse4WM.exe file, nothing happens but when I go check the processes in the Windows Task Manager, I see the a process "FairUse4WM.exe" that uses exactly 50% of the CPU. I never get a chance to see the window appear but the process stays until I end it by myself.

The laptop I have gets frequent updates from the IT department. FairUse4WM used to work 2 months ago on the same laptop.

- Has anyone experienced the same problem?
- Could the problem be caused by a security update introduced by Microsoft? a virus on my laptop? files missing needed to run FairUse4WM?

thanks

Re: Download FairUse4WM - strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 9,10,11 WMV,

 

FairUse4WM doesn't work with Windows Media Player (WMP) v11.0.5497.6285 or higher. You should do selective updates to avoid updating your Windows Media Player.

Alternatively you may use other DRM removal software or install FairUse4WM onto Virtual PC / VMWare.

What kind of error did you have when trying to use Fairuse4WM?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 9,10,11 WMV,

 

This is what is installed on my laptop:

- Windows XP SP2 (+ many security updates done by the IT department)
- Windows Media Player version 10.00.00.3802
- IBX version 11.0.5497.6285
- DRM Client DLL 10.0.0.3802

The problem starts at the moment I want to launch "FairUse4MW.exe". I do not even get the first window (the one with the Recover Keys button). I see a process called "fairuse4wm.exe" being started when I look at the processes in Windows Task Manager but that process takes up 50% of the CPU. I have to end it myself because it never terminates.

How can I solve this problem? :confused:

thanks

Re: Download FairUse4WM - strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 9,10,11 WMV,

 

Fairuse4wm doesn't work with IBX 11.0.5497.6285 and higher. However your error is very weird. You may try to remove Fairuse4wm and install one more time.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Dear Gods of streaming, etc. :)
I am in deep need of your help. :mad:

Though I have followed the instruction I got from unDRM.info: FairUse4WM for "FairUse4WM 1.3 fix downgrading Windows Media Player 11 Final to 11.0.5705.5043" to bring my IBX version down.
I did exactly, word by word written by the author.
Still the IBX version remains 11.0.6

My media player is version 9.
Help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much sirs.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

I think it is a good idea to ask about it at doom9 forum. The developers who continue the work of Viodentia can try to implement that.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

I can't help you with the fix. However as mentioned in our FAQ: How to Remove DRM from Windows Media Player files with FairUse4WM 1.3 you may downgrade your WMP by using the the steps from another FAQ: How to uninstall and roll back Windows Media Player to a previous version.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

fu4m13fix2 has been realesed. It supports Windows Media Player version up to 11.0.6000.6324 and works with Windows XP, Vista x32/x64.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

this is what I always get whenever i try using fu4wm..and mirakagi

Extraction in progress on "Indiv01.key" 11.0.6000.6324 -- Please wait.
Phase 0 : Blocks: 1340 Large 0 Small, Errors: 0,0 Candidates: 5,3,2
Failure - Unable to identify RC4 and AES internal keys.

then it says that the ' file.wmv does not appear to be licensed to you'

is there any way to solve this?

I have tried all the possible ways to get rid of this drm, still no luck..been doing this for a day coz I couldn't watch the video I wanted!!! and it's not even for sale they just wanna hide it..i'm so so freakin out now..

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Hopefully FairUse4WM will support this in future versions.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Hello, I am new and have a question regarding FairUse4WM. I have been using it for 6 months with no problem with Ruckus music files. All of a sudden tonight, it gave me the following message:

"requires a different private key."

I have read about this problem earlier in the thread but can't figure out what you mean by:
{If you get "requires a different private key", go back to the first page and re-extract keys. With v1.3, watch for the final message, it should say "Primary and # secondary keys (0 bogus)". }

Do you have any suggestions on how to start getting my files working again? also , why would it just stop working and giving me this message after working for months before that?

I really appreciate your help with this matter!
- BP :)

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

You must have updated the Windows Media Player recently.

The following thread adresses your issue:
"Different private key" error when using FairUse4WM 1.3
namely the following post:
Re-download DRM-protecred files and re-acquire the keys. Use fairuse4wm13 fix-2

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

hey, I'm having a problem with FairUse and I was wondering if this has already been addressed someplace.

I'm running Vista 64. When I open up mirakagi and run it, it says:
Mirakagi starts, code version 0.9
Found 0 keys in keyring.
It is finished.

And that's it. How can I get this to work?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

None of those links work anymore. Could someone reupload it somewhere?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Did you follow the link in post #1 to individualize?

A couple of the links in post 1 still work, including the maxupload one (wait 10 seconds for the adview countdown, then link will enable). Don't forget to scan for virii.

Problem playing video after converting with FairUse4WM

 

FairUse4WM only converts the first few seconds. When i open the new file it says that it is 1:26:00 long but only plays the first few seconds of the hour and half movie. What is wrong?

Re: Problem playing video after converting with FairUse4WM

 

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

You cannot repair video files with DRM.

You can only repair/fix if it has no DRM

Catch 22 there

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

If it converts file to an unplayable one, then you can try to repair/fix it.

As for DRMed files, obviously there are no converting or repairing software.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

maxupload isn't even listed for fix2 and not one of the links works. Microsoft has been busy I guess!

pls help me tks admin

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

fu4wm works on Windows XP just not with the latest IBX. there seems to be nothing esoteric. you just

1. downgrade your WMP so that it has supported IBX

or

2. use fresh copy of Windows XP (it can be a standalone installation or on a virtual machine)

If you can't see the file then you either
1. Haven't unchecked the "Hide protected operating system files" option

or

2. Haven't indivisualized your system (have you ever played DRM protected files?)


What kind of DRM protectio do you want to remove? From legally purchased files? From CD ripped audio files?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

tks

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

you need to find the IBX in the Windows which is used to get DRM licenses from your content providers. It could be a standalone version of Windows or the one installed into your virtual machine.

Can you play your DRM protected content?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

yes , i can play protected video files

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

then you shouldn't have problems finding IBX version.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Hello,

I'd been using Fairuse for about a year successfully until I inadvertently installed WMP 11 which included IBX 6000.7000. So I attempted to roll-back the WMP as instructed but was unable to locate my DRM directory for deletion until I actually typed the path:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM

even though I have hidden files visible etc. When I try to delete the folder (which appears to be empty even in cmd line) I get an error stating:

Cannot delete drmstore.hds it is being used by another program.

I have made sure that WMP, Yahoo Music, iTunes (not that itunes should matter) etc. are not being used by interogating the running processes. Do you know what process is using this file?

Are there any other specific filenames I need to delete?

How about the DRM files in the Windows/inf folder?

Thanks Much,
Zoop

Windows Media Player 10/11: How to determine IBX version
At least you can delete the DRM folder in the SAFE mode (all licenses will be lost!).

You can also try to usee freeware utilities by sysinternals:

• Process Explorer is much better at showing processes and killing ones.
• And File Monitor allows you to find an application that uses your file. Just filter for "drmstore.hds" and it might help...

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Thanks Much!

I was able to finally delete the DRM folder, and reset my IBX.

Yahoo Music took a while to look up my license but then began playing my DRM WMAs. I am also again able to back-up my copies using FairUse4WM again.

Thanks much for all the info Stream!!!

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

U R welcome. Hope you do not abuse rental licenses and only remove DRM protection from legally purchased files.

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Hi I have a question. I am tring to using fu4wm13fix.exe
I have media player 11.0.5705.5043 installed. I did have 11.6000.7000 but I uninstalled it and installed 11.0.5705.5043.
When I go and individualize my media player for some reason it keeps showing up as version 11.0.6000.7000 for my IndivBox.key. So fu4wm13fix does not work.
What could I be doing wrong?
I have a movie I bought that I am tring to use this on.
TIA

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

you should also do the following:

• disable Windows automatic updates
• uninstall everything related to Windows Media including Windows Media Format 11 Runtime, Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework.
• delete the DRM folder (all licenses will be lost)

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 10,11 WMV

 

Well looks like my problem was that I had a security update for Media Player that was stopping it from working. Once I removed it and delete the DRM folder I was able to get it to at least come up now. But I guess I did something wrong because now it comes up as you don't have a valid licenses(something like that). Oh well it's just one movie so I guess I can't get to watch it anymore.
Thanks for your help.
