Fairuse4wm error: .wmv does not have a recognizable DRM header

[Freekmans]

Okay never mind, It worked out. I followed milOtis' tutorial to use with FairUse4WM 2009-01-10, however now I get this warning in the very last step of removing the DRM:

C:\[milOtis] 2009-01-10 FairUse4WM DRM Fix\1234.wmv does not have a recognizable DRM header.

Please advice

Thanks

Have you re-acquired the license? Can you play the file?

Thanks for your reply ! (and for splitting this message from the other topic. You can delete the other one, my bad )

Yes, I can play the file without problems. How do I re-acquire the license ? I (should) have gotten a new license as I totally deinstalled my WMP and deleted my DRM folder so.. else I couldn't play the file I guess.

However I must say that I have copied the file from my Vista PC (which I use to watch video files onto) to my XP PC (which I want to use to remove DRM). However on both machines I can play the file without problems..

EDIT: Also if the extension is .asf I get the same error

Thanks !!

What IBX version do you have? Have you disabled automatic Windows updates?

You can also try to use drmdbg + freeme2.

You can play the file, so you have a valid licence already.

Most .wmv files are just .asf files with a different file extension. Windows Media files for Windows XP and Vista should be absolutely identical.

I have IBX version 11.0.5497.6285 as stated in the tutorial of milOtis
Automatic Windows Updates are turned off

I didn't try drmdbg on this machine yet, but I've tried it before and found it quite hard to work with (didn't always work).

I know that .wmv and .asf are identical, that's why I changed the extension to see if that made a difference but sadly it didn't

I really have no idea what's going wrong here. I hope though you have

Thanks !

Unfortunately I have no idea how to help.

Try to delete the DRM folder, re-individualize and re-acquire licenses.

And try to use drmdbg.
