Thanks for taking the time to reply Mate. Unfortunately every time you try to click on the download button from their site, they check your system config before they allow you to get near the wmv file & issue you a license for it. I already had WMP 9 & unDRM 2 so could noDRM a couple of the clips from MS's site, therfore thought that I wouldn't have a problem with TotalVid & went to get a download, however they just keep giving you error messages & telling you to upgrade this & that. I thought that I'd try & be clever, so re-installed an older version of WMP, however that corrupted the licenses, then put my DRM back doen from 2.7 to 2.4 (as it was previously before I was forced to install the upgrades). So in order to view them again, I had to go & re-install the exact same upgrades that I listed in the first post.
The worst thing about it, is that the download for a plumbing instructional is only 70mb's for something that's around 50mins long, so the quality isn't very good to begin with. Then you can only view it for 7 days, after that you either need to purchase a new license or sign up for a membership package.
So being that the quality isn't the greatest to start with, then I honestly don't mind losing some when capturing. As long as I'm able to watch it on the pc or better yet, burn it to DVD, then that's fine. Especially since it takes a lot longer that 7 days to learn about plumbing installation. Not even that, but for a windows one that also interests me, even if I were to buy the DVD from them, they wouldn't even sell me it here in the UK because they don't ship that one outside the US & Canada. So either way, I'm in a bit of a jam.
Believe it or not, I already have
Tunebite Platinum installed. I tried to capture one last night on it, but it was just under 1 hr long, then as the timer got to around 45mins. Tunebite stopped recording & said something about after it exceeding 44mins, it assumed something had gone wrong & had stopped recording.
I was planning to try
WM Recorder, but noticed on the Faq that it stated that it won't capture DRM enabled media.
So is there anything that you would recommend that would allow me to capture it for something that's around an hour or so long, have been thinking of perhaps trying
Camtasia or Snagit. I'm not really worried about size as such, espeically if I can put it on a DVD. If there isn't any that can do it, what about using Video out, to try & tape it through a VCR or something.
Thanks James.
