Recently I downloaded a video file from a torrent site. I is protected with DRM. The file dowsn't even plays. When I opened the file WMP says ' getting media information...' and a window appears. It goes to the site of the torrent uploader. The option play from the window is greyed. Is there any other way to break DRM protection and make the files play. ps: Already tried Almedia and Tunebite but they are of no use.

    This is not a hackers/crackers website, and illegal. Read the FAQ. Feb 22, 2013 at 20:19

    Whether or not something is illegal is not for us to judge and depends on local laws. However, this isn't about breaking DRM for things you own, like making a copy of your bought DVD, this is a clear call for pirated movies, which we really can't encourage, sorry.

There is no DRM protection. This is a lie. The file's sole purpose is to induce you to go to the web site and perform surveys, buy things, download malware, or whatever. It was a trick, you were fooled.

  • but there was no surveys. There was only a link to a software called gygan. thats all.

  • Perhaps the fact that you're missing is that Gygan pays people to get other people to install their software. So this "video file" is actually an ad for Gygan. Feb 22, 2013 at 20:22
  • the video file is more than 300 mb

    Of course. Would you have downloaded it if it was 8K? And even if you had, would you bother to try to download Gygan to make it work if it didn't work immediately? This was a trick to get you invested in the file so you would download Gygan. Feb 22, 2013 at 20:23
