Nope. Pretty serious DRM on those. No way to get those to work. He should have gotten at least DVDs from the production company. If not, they are a cheap ass company.

That is a problem lately. Networks and production companies want to see demo reels, but don't want to release material FOR those reels when people ask for them. Their typical response? "Record it when it airs." Unless they are a DP or Editor. But I try to get people copies when I can, when they ask. Because I know what stooges production companies can be.

On that subject, there's also a company called TVeyes.com. The production company I work for primarily uses it for proofing how our promos aired, but it might be able to be used for the same reason. I believe it's mainly subscription based but it may be something to look into.

I didn't delete it but I see it was in violation of RULE #5. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=98521
There are no rights to break or circumvent DRM encryption regardless of whether you created it.
Use the original footage instead.

Not trying to be arguementative but could you lead me to the laws on this. I am curious now.
A little info on how they determine if you are breakingthe copyrightor not under the fair use act.
[1] In determining whether a challenged activity qualifies as a fair use, courts employ a multi-factor balancing test, including a consideration of:
the purpose and character of the use, including whether it is commercial or noncommercial;
the nature of the work (e.g., factual works are entitled to less protection than purely creative works);
the amount and substantiality of the portion of the work used;
the effect of the use upon the potential market for the work.

I'm not referring to fair use.
I'm referring to breaking encryption and the DRM.
iTunes DRM relates to both. If you own the footage, use the original footage.
However, when you download DRM protected footage to iTunes, you agree to the license.
If you intend it for another purpose, you violated the license to which you agreed to when downloading the footage.
It is the same things as using DRM protected and licensed music from iTunes as a music bed for a video production.
Discussing fair use and related issues isn't the purpose of this forum
Try the cafe is you want to discuss further.
