I downloaded a couple TV shows off of Zune and I need to edit them in Vegas.

Vegas won't let me open the files because they are DRM-protected so if anyone has a solution it would be very helpful.

lostmodz, am i correct in assuming you have a mac?

because if so mac has fuck all in drm removal tools but we do have another option

run a screencap program (screenflow is particularly good) and record yourself playing it then you can save it without drm

on windows, SOME drm protected files (those from bbc iplayer for example) can be decrypted by using the "fair use drm removal" tools. but its fairly hit and miss... i suggest a high quality screencap tool. much better output, no faffing.

EDIT

here are the windows tools you would need

I still like Linux far more than Windows or Mac.... but it is not an option to run many games under Linux.

G-PC = Windows (Gaming, Movie edits, Photoshop)
Laptop = Linux (Productivity, needs to work all the time, etc.)

But on topic, just download those shows from a warez site. You've already paid for them anyway, so why not?

I hear rumors about steam for Linux.
