So I bought a movie from amazon. I want to transfer the movie to my droid dna however i cant because it claims its protected. Is there anyway to get the file onto my DNA so I can watch it on the go?
Can you download it on a pc then transfer it over? I suggest using an otg cable and a thumb drive or mini sdcard reader.

Yeah I did download it to my pc, and it wont let me copy it to my droid using my cable because it says the file is protected I assume that means the drm is preventing it. I might try stripping the drm and converting the file to a different file type that android can read since we cant read .wmv files which is what it downloads as.
Or since you already legally bought it, just download it through a torrent. That is the real use for torrents don'tcha know
I don't use torrents I'm not a pirate. If you get caught it's not worth the trouble with your isp, and it's not worth going to court.

Yeah i know but to me its not worth the risk. I know how to move it over I just need to get some software first so I can strip the drm and convert it to a readable format.
I literally lol'd. You bought it, you own it, therefore if you torrent it and get "caught" you can prove that you were either A. Backing it up and/or B. Converting it to a compatible format - which in both cases is not pirating. Torrenting has legitimate uses too bro.
I got it, and I know it has legal uses. However I got software that allows me to srtip the drm license and convert it to a file android can read.
Enlighten us please. What software(s) did you use?

Use an alternate android media player, such as MX Player. It plays a ton of different file formats that the default android player won't.
I use MX Player to play tons of files natively without converting, like hi10p 1080p Anime with dual audio and soft subs. You can also download a custom ffmpeg plugin to support DTS audio, which i think is the only major thing it's missing by default.
This is much more convenient than converting every movie you want to put on your phone. The DNA is more than powerful enough to play all the common formats.

I think its the drm that was the issue

So I used audible tunebite 10 it's actually quite a unique software. Basically since the file is protected by drm and I need to convert it so I can copy it to my phone I opened up tunebite and converted it. Tunebite re records the movie and takes what ever is going through the sound card and on the screen it then converts the file and you can do as you please with it because the new converted file is not protected by drm. The new output had basically the same quality as the original. Only con is it took about 2 and a half hours so I just watched the movie again. It's also really good for music. An example that you can use it for is let's say I want a song so I open up spotify turn record on in tunebite and it will capture the sound going through the sound card and then convert it to a file format I want. It also then automaticallt tags the song and then I can do as I please with it. It's a very nice software and you can buy it from their site or through amazon like I did.
There is a free trial that you can use to see what the software is capable of before you buy it that's what I did and I liked it. With the trial you are limited on how long you can recorded and what not but it's just to get a taste of it and see the results. Overall I think it works very well and I will deffidently get my money's worth.

And you say you are not a pirate. Circumventing drm is as punishable under the dmca as downloading a copy is. Tsk, tsk :angel:

Yes that is probably not legal however the main reason I am using this is really just to make a copy of the movie I bought to covert it to a readable format and be able to play the movie on my nexus 7. Also since I'm just making a copy in a different format the drm has not been touched from the original file.
