Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Multimedia / March 2006Copying Licensed Video from MP10 on PC to MP9 on PPC - Help!
Hi Folks - I'm trying to download a major league baseball game purchased from mlb.com. When I played it on my laptop XP Media Player 10 it worked fine and acquired the license no problem. When I try to play the file on my PocketPC with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (Audiovox XV6600) I get an error: "The license for this file cannot be found. Use Windows Media Player on your PC to copy the file to your device again." So when I try to syncronizand it from my PC to the PocketPC I get an error: Windows Media Player cannot synchronize the protected file. Protected files cannot be converted to the required quality level or file format (C00D1186). I'm in a catch-22, the PPC says use Media Player to copy it, but when I try that it says it cannot do it. Help!!! Thanks, MojoBaer > Hi Folks - I'm trying to download a major league baseball game purchased > from [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > try > that it says it cannot do it. Help!!! Simple - sounds like you do not have a suitable license that allows you to do the conversion. While in Media Player's library on the PC, right click on the protected file, then properties and license. See if there is more information there. Thanks - I looked and it says: This file can be played until 4/9/2105 This file can be burned 3 more times until 4/9/2105 This file can be synchronized 3 more times until 4/9/2105 It seems like I've got the proper license. I'm wondering if there is any problem with syncing between MP10 and MP9... > > Hi Folks - I'm trying to download a major league baseball game purchased > > from [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > on the protected file, then properties and license.

Are you transferring it to removable media on the PPC, like an SD or CF card. I don't think the MP 9 will play protected media from a flash card.

I also tried the "sync" functionality in MP10 (instead of the copy) and MP10 gave me the C00D1186 error (cannot sync protected file). > Well not entirely an MP10 and MP9 issue, but possibly the inability of MP9 > on the PPC to use the particular DRM (Lisence) that file uses.

It's probably too big to even try using MP10 sync to put it in main RAM isn't it? That would just be an interesting experiment. If you have a gob of built-in-storage, like the X50v and rx3715 have, that doesn't even help as the OS sees that as 'removable' storage too. Things don't get better until you have MP10 on the PPC as well as the PC when it comes to DRM issues. Unfortunately MP10 on the PPC is scarce.

I don't know if removing the DRM on the MLB video files is possible, but I have found out how to successfully play them on my PDA (Dell Axim X50v). You have to start WMP10 in WinXP and start to play the video file. It will ask you to log into your MLB account to verify you own the license to play the file. After WMP has downloaded your license, sync the file to your PDA using the WMP interface. WMP will transfer the video file to you PDA along with the license and you will be able to successfully view the video. It will take quite a while since the video files are pretty large. Hope this helps someone, unlike Customer Service as MLB which basically has a "sucks to be you" attitude toward their customers. -- mlbdrmkiller |
