Ahhhh - you've got it in one! If you don't take the upgrade, the movie won't play.
So that brings us back to - how to get DRMDBG or Fairuse to work with the upgrade. Sadly, it is w...a.......y beyond me and I had hoped that The Ususal Suspects might have a cunning plan?
It is always possible to run the video and do a screen capture, but the quality is quite degraded and of course takes a lot longer as it has to run in real time.
Any suggestions (except personal abuse) would be most welcome by a lot of us it seems.
