How to burn DRM protected WMV files to DVD?
I just found this question about DVD authoring. It's quite common one so I put the question here: "I got a WMV video file. It's not illegal. I actually bought and paid for the video file. I paid to own the video and there's no time limitation or expiry date with it. I can enjoy it as many times as I want on my PC, but I need to put it on a DVD to enjoy it on TV. I tried to import it into Nero to make a video DVD, and I received a message saying that the file has something labeled DRM protection, which is blocking Nero from accessing the file. It is important that I need to convert this video to DVD, as I purchased for an older people who does not have a laptop or pc."
