About DRM removal process
drmdbg/drm2wmv don't convert your original audio/video actually, they just remove DRM header of the media file, so you get lossless conversion of DRM protected media files.

Automate unDRM v2.0 is used to automate drmdbg and drm2wmv.

Requirements
1. You must have VALID license files on your harddrive and be able to play the DRM protected files without restrictions. Otherwise DRM decryption won't work! Nobody has % ed DRM" for .WMV yet if that's what you want. You have to have the license at least once, then you can unwrap your .WMV, .ASF, .WMA DRM2 protected files to playback later.

2. You need Windows Media Player 9.00.00.xxxx or Windows Media Player 10.00.00.3646
Note: If you install update KB891122, it updates many of the DRM components in your system, then drmdbg will not work anymore. Use only WMP9 or WMP10 v.3646 without any Windows Media Runtime updates.

The best way to make sure it is working, do a clean install of WinXP. You may use Virtual PC to install another copy of WinXP.
Note : Win XP SP1 or SP2 with all latest updates doesn't prevent drmdbg to work properly. Remember only if you install update KB891122, it will prevent drmdbg to work.

At the first time you play any protected content after clean install, wmp will connect to internet for individualization or security upgrade. Let it do it, then verify that IndivBox.key version in your C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM is 10.0.0.3646. Only this version of IndivBox.key will work perfectly to undrm protected media in my knowledge. If you found IndivBox.key version 3930, drmdbg will not work anymore.

If you have update KB891122 installed, remove it. According to Microsoft, to remove this update, you must uninstall the Windows Media Format Runtime by using "Add or Remove Programs".

Some content providers of DRM protected media files will ask you to install KB891122 before you can play the media. If you install it, you won't be able to use undrm anymore.

You can download WMP 10.0.0.3646 at:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...e1/mpsetup.cab

Note: If you Rollback Windows Media Player to a previous version, you can lose all your license keys after that.

3. System Individualized with IndivBox.key version 10.00.00.3646

4. Windows Script 5.6
Automate DRM uses a vbs script to manipulate drmdbg and drm2wmv, so you must install Windows Script 5.6 for WinXP (included in the Automate DRM 2.0 installer) to enable this script working.

5. You may need to disable antispyware and antivirus programs when running DRM removal tools. But don't do it before trying to unDRM files with antispyware and antivirus enabled!

6. This instruction is provided to make fair-use backups only (for example if you can't transfer your legally obtained DRM protected wma files to the iPod). Please also read the ToS of the site with DRM protected audio/video files.
