Ron Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 So I bought the special edition of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which has a third disc with a copy of the movie you can download to your pc/mac. After spending an hour actively screwing around to get it on my pc and playable, I believe next time I won't bother. I wonder if I got some bonus spyware with that? Sigh.

GreenMonkey Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Rent the DVD from Netflix or borrow it from someone, rip it, and don't feel guilty. DRM is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I agree.. It doesn't even matter what format they encode the movie in these days (MP4/WMV/AVI) - the DRM is what makes it so hard to transcode or import these files into your player of choice. This is supposed to be an add-on feature, not a chore. Of all the discs I have with this feature now (admittedly, not many) I think only 1 of them went in without issues. As said, you have a valid license for a digital copy of the movie so rip the DVD, it's much easier. Just disappointing that this is the "solution" to the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
