Hi All... Well I got into a site where I can download videos from online and it will only let me watch them if I put in my login/Pass in Windows Media Player... Is there ANY Way to remove it so I can just double click the video and it plays without this stupid Login/Pass Screen Coming up?? Please HELP
I doubt it. I've never even heard of videos asking for passwords, so I wonder if you got hacked. Malware and spyware spreading via video codecs and even media exploits is all the rage now, so make sure your media player is NOT set to download codecs automatically. Even then, that will only help a little. Did you get it from bittorrent or some other P2P? Even if you didn't get hacked, this is the newest form of spam - you download stuff and you have to pay to unlock it. Regardless, stay away from this shit and the sites offering it. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/8086.cfm
You could call it malware and it is basically an infection, however it is know as DRM. You can remove the DRM using FairUse4WM, that's if you have the login in the first place. I agree stay away from it. But that means no iTunes, no MS Zune, etc.
No it isn't malware and I didn't get it from Bittorent or P2P I got it on a Website that i had to pay for...I have a Membership and When you download the movies when I open them with WMP they ask for your login/pass from the site to watch them... Is there a Way to bypass this?? Please POST
I already gave you the answer. That is assuming that they are wmv files. I believe a lot of adult sites are using DivX DRM now though which as I understand it has not been broken.
Sorry, no. If they did not explicitly tell you this when you signed on, and told you of any limitations, request a refund or stop payment.
How about AVI Files I downloaded?? I don't understand after my membership is over I won't be able to view these anymore because whenever I open these AVI Videos I downloaded off the ten.com members area It asks me for Login/Pass just to watch them in Windows Media Player 11 Please Can it be broken?? How?
I'm wary of how much advice to give you..seeing as how this could be construed as theft. If you can currently watch the wmv media then why not use a tool like transcode to rip it to another format while it's playing (avi, divx etc.). That should get rid of the passwords and proprietry codecs. Sites that charge for temporary use of media suck, and as said before are to be used with caution or not at all.
