How exactly does itunes DRM removal work? Is it lossy or lossless

There are a variety of DRM removal software for itunes movie and TV files, such as tuneskit, which converts the DRM M4V file into a regular MP4. Many of them tout 40x lossless conversion speed etc.

So are these claims true? Does anyone know how exactly the DRM removal process work?

Do these programs actually go into the M4V file and remove only the DRM data, leaving the video/audio/subtitle data intact, which occurs at 40 times the playtime of the file.

Or are these programs essentially playing back the M4V file at 40x speed and re-encoding it into a MP4 container file, sort of a digital version of how we used to use two VCRs to copy a VHS tape? In this case it would be a lossy method.

DRM Removal from Itunes

I have a LOT of old itunes music stuck with protections (I've already tested redownloading songs and they download with DRM), and I'm trying to consolidate my music library outside of itunes. Theoretically since burning music to cd removes drm can I use a virtural cd tool like daemontools to "burn" my music and then redownload those songs?

Help with iTunes drm removal

I recently purchased a movie on iTunes and I want to add it to my Plex library, but I have to remove the drm first. I have tried numerous programs (that I downloaded via torrent because I’m not paying $45 to convert one movie) but none of them work.

Would anyone be interested in doing this for me? I can simply email you the raw file. Thanks in advance.

MP4 video file DRM removal

I am currently doing an online training course where I will get DRM protected MP4 which I can play only on a player shared by the training academy after I send them my laptop HWID. Problem now is my hdd has been replaced with SSD and training academy won't give me licence for my new HWID. I fucking paid for it. I am looking for a way to crack the drm but couldn't find a way. Please help.

I can share any additional details if you want.

Is there a way to preserve text data when I convert .acsm file to .pdf to remove DRM?

This is ridiculous. I paid and downloaded an ebook from Google Play Store and since it is DRM protected and only provided in .acsm file, I have to find a way to "pirate" this file and make it into PDF.

The only method I've come up with so far extracts contents of .acsm file as images and then convert them into a pdf file. This is a lot of pain and not ideal because I can't select/copy any of the text inside the file and all the links are gone too.

I would be really happy if I could just convert these damn acsm files to normal good old pdf files so that I can write on them on my iPad. How do I pull this off? Does anyone have any legit way to do this?

I'm getting frustrated

I have tried every suggestion I could find on the internet for how to remove DRM from nook, and not a single one has worked for me.

The things I have tried:

  • downloading the old nook for pc app
  • downloading the old nook study app
  • calibre with deDRM plugin
  • Epubor Ultimate
  • Epubor All DRM Removal
  • Any eBook Converter

Is there anything left to try, or am I just stuck with locked book files for all of eternity?

How is it this hard?

Man, I've been trying to find a decent working DRM remover for Mac for months and I can't find squat. All of the number one recommendations I found on here were still too old to work with my current OS

I only need it to remove drm from 5 itunes m4V files, is there anyone with a working method that can help with just these 5 files?

Remove iTunes DRM off of show m4v files?

Hi everyone, I couldnt find a clear answer online, but what is the best way to remove iTunes DRM off m4v files? it is a season of my favorite show rather than a movie if that makes any difference, and i bought it last year in September 2018, but just realized I can't view it outside of iTunes (sooo annoying)

iTunes changed their DRM

Before I was able to convert movies using older software using tuneskit. But now when the movie is completed it’s a black screen with weird noises. This is mostly an announcement as it seems now there is no way to remove DRMS from iTunes.

Neowing Ebook Reader DRM

Neowing is CDJapan's official ebook reader, and it offers a lot of raw manga/magazines/etc that I don't think have official digital releases elsewhere. The issue is: the DRM hasn't been cracked yet. This is the only thing I can find online relating to specifically looking to de-DRM things through Neowing: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/466. I guess I'm making this post to page interest in trying to figure it out? Especially with how cheap a lot of the ebooks on CDJapan's store are.

Need help with .epub

Recently got some ebooks for school, and apparently they are drm locked to adobe digital editions, which is a horrible software. I really would like to use apple books to read them, thats what I'm used to, or a good reader app if you guys have something to recommend :). Anyways, I really would like to remove the drm. I've read about drm removal tools and have calibre installed, however I have not found a plugin to remove drm from newer ADE books. Also i have one book in PDF format, and when i open that in apple books the pages are blank. Why is this?

I probably should mention that whilst opening the .epub book in apple books it gives an error message "the file is corrupt". Is this because the drm?

Amazon comic DRM removal

Hi guys.

I´m buying some mangas from amazon and I would like to have a private copy of them. I know calibre is the way to do DRM free books. However, these are comics, I don't really like the amazon reader too much so I prefer to use specialized app to read in my tablet.

Is there a way to get a private copy of my own mangas

Many thanks

PD: I've checked in some forums and there is no digital copy of them to download, so that's not an option.

VUDU DRM?

Is it possible to remove DRM from VUDU movies/tv that I bought?

I want to put them on my media-center PC(which runs on Linux, VUDU app doesn't work), so I can watch them while I'm offline. In order to do this, I need to be able to move the files from my phone to my computer, but DRM stops them from playing on the computer.

DRM Removal for EPUBs

I'm trying to read the books I've bought on Google Play Books on Moon Reader+ but I can't find a way to do it.

Everything I've downloaded is only a 10 epub limit or 24 hour trial. I've downloaded Adobe Digital Editions but I don't know what to do with that and on this Google help page it says you should be able to move books to a device without having to remove the DRM.

I'm very confused and just want to read my books. Any help is very much appreciated.

Any free DRM Removers that DON'T limit me to 3 minutes per file.

I've recently gotten a large batch of songs from Apple Music and would like to add them to my iTunes full time. I've tried looking for free DRM removers but all I can find are free trials that either can't read every song I've downloaded or limit my songs length. Are there any programs that convert everything for free? I'd rather have a free program that's stuffed with adds and pop-ups but gets the job done rather than pay 40 dollars.

Anyone Used This?

Anyone Used DRMARE for drm removal on iTunes files? I'd like to get it as I have a lot of tv & movies I'd like to be able to watch through Plex, I only have a couple of concerns:

  1. If anyone has used it how safe from viruses is it? (Don't want to screw up my pc)

  2. Are they a legit company? Don't mid paying for a programme but don't want to fall foul of a scam or worse ID theft.

Don't know wether I can trust the site's testimonials on there site & Google hadn't really helped much.

Tuneskit question, paranoid about it

I really want to extract myself from the Apple ecosystem a bit, I've set up Plex and like it so much better than the new craptastic Apple TV interface - also, it just makes sense. I do have a few movies that were only available digitally or only available in HD on iTunes. I would like to get download the movies in 1080 and then use Tuneskit on them but I'm just paranoid - is it actually safe to get? I saw a reference to them wanting your address and phone #, or is that only the payment company (that whatever-spring?). What country is it from (I'm not too keen on installing something from China or Eastern Europe). Since it seems to require iTunes to run, will Apple be able to tell what I'm doing? I have no intention to use it on rentals or anything, I just want to free up those rarer things for Plex.

I know I could probably install a VM and somehow backup/restore a Win10 installation on it and yadda yadda but honestly that is probably past the amount of work I'm willing to do for this goal, I seriously doubt those movies will ever be taken away on iTunes in my lifetime, and that doesn't help with the Apple sensing question anyhow.

Thanks!

Best free drm removal for Mac (movies)

It seems like anytime i try to download a "free" program it basically screws me over somehow and doesn't give me my drm free movie despite it indicating it is a "free" trial.

So i guess my point is...is there anyway to remove drm on movies that is truly free?

Digital Copies I can Own

Where can I purchase digital movies. Amazon and Google you purchase access to their movies on their servers. And even if you download, I can only view in their respective apps. Is there a place where I can purchase movies without a disc and actually own it?

Does Calibre and Epubor just not work anymore to convert Kindle, or am I doing something wrong?

Hello, and good evening. I discovered Calibre several years ago, often using it to convert e-manga I bought through kindle so I could share them with my friends, and usually worked without an issue. Sometimes textbooks for college didn't work out, but almost all books and mangas I could easily convert without problem.

However, after several years of not using it, I just can't get Calibre to work. I have a Windows 10, 64 bit. I have installed DeDRM, the newest version, using the built-in installer. When I try to convert I get the same message: "This book has DRM. Cannot convert. This book is locked by DRM. To learn more about DRM and why you cannot read or convert this book, click here." I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Calibre and Kindle, even deleting all my downloaded books so I could try with a fresh install. Nothing.

I tried out a cracked version of Epubor as well. While it does recognize all my installed kindle books, I get errors saying "Kindle DRM removal failed!" I went to their online support website which recommends this; "Notice: If you have already done the steps but also cannot remove Kindle DRM, please delete the synced Kindle books at first, then re-sync them again to ensure the keys are generated correctly. And in some cases, users even need to re-install Kindle for PC/Mac to solve the issue." I have done this. It won't remove DRM no matter what I do. Under the pencil and the X it says "Kindle DRM" next to a lock.

Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong? Or do these programs just not work with Amazon's new protection?
