Subj : Removing Digital Rights Management (DRM) To : All From : warmfuzzy Date : Tue Feb 12 2019 16:16:32 How to remove DRM from: - Audible Audiobooks - Compact Disc Digital Audio - Adobe PDF Documents - DVD/BD-R Video Discs (ISOs) - YouTube Media YouTube Media : AIRY or VIDDLY : Both do a perfect job, but AIRY has the feature of adding the resolution to the file name, such as ThatCoolVideo.720p.mp4. It can be downloaded from www.airy-youtube-downloader.com. There is one annoying feature to it though, sometimes it forgets that you've registered the product and you need to enter your serial number again. Viddly is great as well. It can be downloaded from https://vidd.ly . Probably the main determining factor between the two are the price points. Airy costs $20 USD while Viddly costs $60 USD. As they both do the same thing at about the same quality my recommendation would be to use Airy. There was a problem a while ago with Airy not being able to download YouTube's new media encoded with a new encoding scheme, this has been fixed. I'm sure that you can live with entering the seral number each time when you save $40 USD. I just have the serial number pasted on the Windows sticky note feature and so I have it ready to go... RedFOX AnyDVD HD: www.redfox.bz. This software package removes DRM from videos in both DVD and BluRay formats. You stick in your movie and it rips it into DRM-free ISO format, which can be used to copy your movie or back it up incase your original gets scratched. It is quite expensive, costing $110 EUR. However, it is the best software to get this job done. The software runs perfectly and I fully recommend it. PDF Password Remover (version 5.0: 2012) : http://passwordunblocker.com This software is well worth its price. It is sold for three dollars (USD) on eBay and unlocks DRM PDFs in batches of up to 100 at a time. My only complaint is that you have to do it in batches of 100. But for three bucks its well worth it. The software is a bit dated but it does the job perfectly; why re-invent the wheel, when it works perfectly, right? ICEDAX (InCrEdable Digital Audio eXtractor: It's a utility that dumps CD audio data into WAV-format audio files. This beats the CD audio DRM, and *all* of the CD audio DRM, because it reads the CD using CDDA, which is the same thing the CD player itself uses, so even if there was DRM in your music it is converted into audio... In short form answer: this worlks absolutely perfectly in bypassing CD DRM. The .WAV files produced can be converted into whatever format you want because they are extracted into .WAV files which are usiversally accepted into encoding programs. This software is only available on Linux, but you should be using Linux anyways so this shouldn't be an issue. If for some strange reason you're not using Linux you can run a "LIVE CD Distribution" of Linux to boot up Linux on system startup without fully switching to Linux. Audible Audiobook DRM removal: Some people are against removing the DRM from Audible audiobooks due to certain licensing commitments. However, my Android Audio Player doesn't have the Audible app working right so the only way I can listen to my Audible audiobooks is to play them on the computer or convert it into non-DRM formats and placing them on my player. So I'll descriive here how to remove Audible DRM: The software works really well, except I'd recommend not converting the audio into FLAC as it doesn't format FLAC files to have high compression, so the best formats to use are M4A Audio and M4B Audio books. It even can convert Audible audiobooks right into MP3 (which is compatible with all music/audio players. Epubor Audible Converter (www.epubor.com) is the software of choice, mainly because it does the job at a good price point. It cost me $25 USD. I'm going to quote what their site says as its a really good description of the product: "Audible Converter helps you easily remove Audible DRM. Playing the purchased AA, AAX audiobooks on any device you like is much easier than you can imagine. Just "Add" the Audible file to Audible Converter, and all the Audible files will be decrypted automatically in seconds. DRM-Free formats: MP3, M4B, AC3, M4A, and FLAC." ---- So, in this article you've found out how to live a DRM-free Libre life.
