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

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

 

It was mentioned that by deleting the DRM folder you lose all your licenses. Unless you can re-acquire them, there is nothing you can do.

It is up to you whether to downgrade and try to re-acquire licenses or to use a new clean system.

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

 

I just wasted a day on this trying to setup a buddied Vista machine. The genius thing about this is that all the info out there like:

unDRM.info: FAQ: How to Remove DRM from Windows Media Player files with FairUse4WM 1.3

Says Fairuse4wm 1.3 fix 2 works with 11.0.6000.6324 IBX. So you pull your hair out all day wondering why it isn't working. Essentially MS is SPOOFING the IBX version number by reusing and older version number for a new IBX. Bastards.

What's the next best thing to use in the interim while waying for a patch, SoundTaxi?


So does this all just boil down to the coders of the undrm software patching their programs faster than MS can release a new IBX version. Considering the size of MS, seems like it will now always be a losing battle?

There's got to be a workaround. Roll back to WMP 9???

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

 

Just some more info to add to the mix...

I'm using my older notebook as my newer one is in the shop being repaired. Both run Win XP. I noticed that on this old notebook the Yahoo Jukebox setting for adding tracks to My Music was not set to download the song to the local drive. It is running WMP 10.

So I changed the setting. Downloaded a song. Attempted to play it. Got a Yahoo Warning with the Play button grayed out even though I was logged in. However when I went to play the local downloaded copy of the song a second time, it played. So I'm assuming I got the warning because it needed to download the DRM files from Yahoo.

So I downloaded the latest copy of fairuse4wm 1.3 fix 2. Didn't do anything else. Ran it, recovered the keys, and successfully removed the DRM from the song I downloaded of Yahoo. I of course deleted the song thereafter since I didn't buy it.

But I never got any prompt to upgrade my Yahoo Music Jukebox, WMP, or anything. I went and viewed the IBX version of IndivBox.key in c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM and it is version 11.0.5497.6285 !

So if people say their unDRM software has stopped working recently and their IBX is the 11.0.6000.6324 version, AND it is happening on both Vista AND XP, then this means it is a problem with Windows Media Player 11. It appears you don't get the new uncompatible IBX if you are running an older version of WMP.

Seems to me what happened is that a fairuse4wm version was released (1.3 fix 2) that worked with WMP 11 and everyone got all excited and upgraded to WMP 11 because of it and ended up screwing themselves as Microsoft is focusing on releasing 'fixes' (or in the case of unDRM software 'breaks') to only the latest version of WMP.

I thought the IBX was independent of the Media Player though. As you can see even though I'm running WMP 10, my IBX version starts out at 11. So it seems to indicate that Microsoft is pushing different IBX's for different versions of WMP, OR, they (or Yahoo or Napster, etc.) just aren't requireing an IBX update if you aren't running WMP 11?

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

 

Boy I'm sure glad I don't run Vista. Learning what all the complaints are about working with my friends computer. I believe the problem could be fixed simply by installing an older version of WMP on Vista. However, I just found out, that's impossible as it is now a fixed part of the operating system that cannot be rolled back! You can only roll it back in XP!

So now I see why the big need to un Virtual PC on Vista.

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

 

So in summary, MS to cause confusion and havoc released a new IBX under an older version number because all info on the net says this older version number works. Hopefully all the websites publishing information on setting up fairuse4wm will update with this new info soon as to save many others from the frustration of trying to make it work when they think they have the correct IBX.

The new IBX appears to only be installed if you are running WMP 11.

In Vista, Microsoft widely made WMP 11 part of the operating system so you cannot uninstall it and downgrade it. I'm sure they did this specifically to strengthen DRM. I imagine it has been a major embarassment to them that there DRM has been defeated fairly easily and those companies paying lots of money are pissed of that programs like fairuse4wm are floating around.

If you run XP, just downgrade to WMP10, delete your DRM directory and re-individualize. (I'm not 100% sure that will work, if not, downgrade to WMP 9).

If you run Vista, currently, once again, the only way to use unDRM software is to install Virtual PC 2007 (ignore messages that it doesn't support your OS if you are running Vista Home). Install Win XP and run SP2 update which puts you at WMP 9 (I though it would at least take you to 10 but I think 10 should be fine too.) Then you can use fairuse4wm and other similar programs running XP in Virtual PC. DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR WMP after that.

Downside is, at least on my notebook, I can't use it to play streaming audio from the subscription networks as the sound is crackly. But then I only use Virtual PC to run fairusew4wm.

Lastly, if someone updates fairuse4wm to work with the new IBX, then the Virtual PC route will no longer be needed for Vista users on WMP 11.


I think (hope) I got it all right.

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

 

hi guys,

...so I hope you all noticed that a lossless drm removing running win vista and wmp11 isn't possible at the moment...
be productive and use little lossy DRM removal tools like Soundtaxi (my fave) and wait till a fixed (updated) version of drmdbg or FairUse4WM is released...
wait and hope ;)

greetings flying out to everyone

I follow this tutorial to downgradeWM, and it seems that I get now a previous version of WMV11 (WMV11.0.6000.6324) compatible with the 2 softwares (Mirakagi and Fairuse).
And after I succeed to use Mirakagi, but after I failed when I use Fairuse, for I get the following message : "Failed - Unable to locate encrypted code table.

where do I fail ?

Follow the instructions exactly and do not update your Windows. This should be enough.

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

 

Hello,
I am getting the "11.0.6000.6324 isn't supported yet" error when I try to recover my keys, but when I look at my windows media player version it says I have 11.0.5721.5230. It was working for a while, then all of the sudden just started telling me the my file requires a different key. I've tried deleting my DRM folder using "rmdir DRM" in the command prompt, but it won't let me, it says I have files in there. I can't see my DRM folder though, even though I have Hidden Files set to visible. I can browse into the DRM folder by typing in it's path, but once inside, I can't see any files in it. I've also tried creating a new DRM folder, but windows won't let me. Any ideas?

btw, I need WMP 11 so I can watch Netflix "Watch Instantly Movies" Gotta get our moneys' worth:) .

if i do not update..I can't see the video..if I do...I can't remove the DRM with FairUse4wm...



any ideas what i can do?

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

 

Folks,
I am not having any luck with the program. Mirakagi does not find keys.

To make sure that I am doing this properly, I have a couple of questions:

1. How do I check the WMP rev level to make sure that it is supported by FairUse4WM?

2. My WMP does not have an option to check settings. How can I do this?

3. Once this is confirmed, what are the exact steps to successfully use these programs.

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

 

Hi!

Please help me to understand how to use .
I have a film in wmv-format. This film was bought absolutely legally and successfully played on Windows Media Player. A legal copy of Windows XP is installed on my PC. I want to convert this film to DVD-format to watch it on my home TV.
When I try to crack this file, WMP is loading, the film begins to play, a FairUse4WM window is hanged, and nothing happens more.
When I try to close WMP manually FairUse4WM shows message box:

Unhandled situation -9000 while Creating Windows Media instance.

What should I do?

Versions:
Windows Media Player
9.00.00.3354

IndivBox.key
11.0.5497.6285

FairUse4WM.exe
1.0.1.0

Please answer me anybody who knows!

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

 

Mikhail, I have never seen any problem like this. You should use the latest version of FairUse4WM - fu4wm 1.3 fix-2.

And you can always use freeme2 or lossy
DRM removal software and screen video capture software instead of fu4wm.

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

 

Much thanks, friends!

I have downloaded a newer version of FairUse4WM, and everything was O.K.
I have no more questions.

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

 

Hey Stream Recorder, since you seem to be the most knowledgeable person reading this thread, do you think you could help me with my problem?

when i first ran FairUse4WM, it automatically extracted the keys, but for reasons beyond my control i had to change them, and i'm not sure of how to find what my new ones are. any suggestions?

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

 

What is your IBX version? Can you post the log of your Mirakagi?

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

 

My question seems to have been abandoned a page upthread, so I'll try asking again and see if anyone has an answer:

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

 

I finally gave up on FairUse4WM
...

apparently my problem no one can help with here and at other forums i asked...

so i started using Daniusoft Digital Media Converter...which work ok...but it takes too long to remove/record music and or videos...

so any news of a new FairUse? or anything similar and as fast as fairuse?...

it has been a while since anyone has come up with anything new and with all the Microsoft tricks coming out to stop software like this one..they seem to be getting ahead...

we need some new stuff...did the tech guys that created fairuse and previous software like this one..gave up???

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

 

Is there any living link for FairUse?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 11 WMP

 

I have updated to WMP 11 that makes it so FairUse4WM does not work anymore. I know that the only way for it to work is with an older version of WMP, but I cannot downgrade because the newest Zune software (3.0) requires the WMP update. I cannot downgrade the Zune software (which would then allow me to downgrade WMP), and am wanting to know if there is anyway around this? If there is no updated version of FairUse that can deal with this, is there another DRM protection remover I can use?

Re: Download FairUse4WM - to strip DRM protection from Windows Media Player 11 WMP

 

When a content provider forces you to upgrade, the only solution I see is to use lossy DRM removal software.

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

 

Is there any software that strips the DRM protection without playing and recording the song? Like how FairUse just stripped the DRM protection in like four seconds. I don't want to sit and have every song simply played and recorded.

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

 

I didn't really understand your question. Please try to elaborate...

FairUse4WM and freeme2 work much faster than in Real time. And they both have automation tools to remove DRM protection from multiples files.

Lossy DRM removal software are not that fast, but at least some of these programs can re-record your DRM-protected files at say 12x, 24x or 48x speed.

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

 

Does anyone know if there will ever be an updated version of FairUse4WM that will work with the newest version of WMP?

Napster DRM troubles with fairuse4wm

 

I have successfully utilized fairuse4wm for Ruckus music downloads for a while, but cannot get Napster downloads to work. Has anyone successfully stripped DRM from Napster downloads? What did you have to do to get the keys / make the programs work, etc.

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

 

I downloaded fairuse4wm and its titled fu4wm13fix on my desktop (not sure what version)... When i try starting it up i can only hit recover keys or cancel and when i hit recover keys i get an error message saying IBX components do not appear to be present. I tried figuring out how to get past this issue myself and I think it might have to do with me not doing a security component upgrade but when i go to http://services.wmdrm.windowsmedia.c...en/indivit.asp it won't let me hit the upgrade button... so I'm not sure what to do.

yeah that was the problem... thanks for the prompt response =) everything worked out once i switched to internet explorer

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

 

Hi Stream Recorder, you said that when a content provider forces you to upgrade your WMP, the only option is to use lossy recorder type softwares... my question is does this mean installing WMP v11 beta 2 or beta 3 (as mentioned as an option in the undrm.info site) is not really an option anymore? ie. do you know of any current content providers (eg. napster, nokia comes with music etc.) where any method/config still works? Eg. using virtual pc to install win xp and installing wmp v11 beta2/3?
