When Windows Media Player is available for Surface RT so that I can play my Disney movies to the digital copy are a format WMV DRM?

I have dozens and dozens of Disney films to digital copy in DRM'd WMV format that I downloaded from the packs of Disney DVD/Blu Ray / Digital Download that I bought.  They play fine on Windows Media Player on Windows 8 Pro.  But there is no media player everywhere where they will play on the Surface RT. I think it was very bad judgment and taste do not include Windows Media Player with Windows RT.  Before purchasing a program to remove the DRM and convert the file format, I have no way to watch the movies I paid for and legitimately possess as digital copies on my RT of Surface. The #1 reason why I bought a Surface RT was so that we can watch movies on the go. I'm really disappointed in the experience of the RT and the value for money. When Microsoft released Windows Media Player for Windows RT to correct this gross oversight?

Hey there,

The short answer is probably never. Surface RT doesn't have a license to play DRM content, so unless Microsoft Gets a license, you will not be able to play your DRM WMV files... or can you?

Follow the steps in this link:

http://www.surfaceforums.NET/forum/Pavtube-software-Studio/2397-transfer-play-digital-copy-movies-surface-RT-tablet.html

Basically, you need to download a DRM remover, run it and transfer it to the surface. It explains how to convert the format of WMV to mp4 say however, there are enough apps in the store play WMV files that you shouldn't have to be converted if you do not want. With respect to the transfer to the surface, personally, we use Skydrive, but you can use any method you want. In addition, you do not have to use the Remover suggested in the article, now that you know that they exist, you can search and find your own.

I hope that helped!

  • Windows Media Player - no sound for videos

    Windows Media Player 11 - will play videos (.) MOD files) and the DVD but with NO AUDIO.  It plays music (.mp3) files fine with sound, so I know the speakers work fine.  PowerDVD program will play audio and video very well, but no Media Player (or RealPlayer besides).  I seem to recall having this problem of her before but was able to get it fixed somehow.  I had to reformat my computer during the winter well and now again manage this noise problem.  I don't know if it's a codec issue or what, and if it's a codec problem I have no idea how to fix this.  I use Windows XP SP 3.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I deleted a bunch of files of music from my computer (directly in Windows Explorer), but registration for the music files deleted still appear in my Windows Media Player "library".  I tried to right click and select 'Delete', but it does NOTHING.

    Any ideas how I get rid of these old entries. I hope I don't have to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player!

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

  • How to set Windows Media Player as default for ripping the CD program

    IMesh

    How can I reset Windows Media Player to be the default for ripping CD's?  A few months ago, I downloaded IMesh to try.  A month later, I deleted the application from my computer.  Now Windows Media will not rip the CD that I put in.  I checked the default music Ripper and there still IMesh as the default Ripper.  I tried to delete IMesh again, but the default is always the same. Help!

    You need describe what symptoms get any decent help - explain what stops you rip the CD.

    As a first response, try to run these troubleshooters [those of "BOLD" seem the most relevant].  They will reset your Date last played info & info sides as these parameters are in the WMP library functions.

    Hello

    Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

    Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

    You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

    The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

    Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

    There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize external DVD drive - so how do you watch a movie DVD?

    I just connected an external DVD - RW drive in my ultrabook of Windows 8 for the first time.  The ultrabook recognizes the drive and the dvd movie which are, but Windows Media Player only - only says: "connect a device".   The resolution of the issues said that the drive works properly.  I can't copy this movie at the video store, because it's a borrowed DVD.  So, how do WMP to recognize the DVD drive and play the movie?

    DVD playback is possible in 8 Pro windows media center. Player Windows Media 8 has no native codecs DVD added to it. You have the option to purchase an update for your Windows 8, which is Media Center Pack to allow playback of DVDs on your computer.
