Any possible way to download/record videos from DRM video player software? (lemmy.world)

There's a DRM video player(won't tell you the name as it's only a domestic software in non-English speaking country) that prevents recording by literally any means I can think of.

These are the methods that does not work

  • Using screen recorder: DRM software force kills all the softwares related to screen recording/sharing. It goes completely black if you try to do with some niche software.

  • Using VM: DRM software detects VM and force stops

  • Using Video capture card: it is somehow blocked. I do not know any specific detail

  • Using yt-dlp: It's using it's own proprietary software and I failed to get the url of the video.

Any possible solutions I might be missing out on?

HDMI splitter, some product specifically says they are able to bypass HDCP.

This has worked pretty well for me most of the time

Have you tried changing the name of the video recording software? If the developer was lazy, it just checks the softwareName.exe :)

If you can play it on chrome then Go to Settings and DISABLE Hardware Acceleration and record (Bandicam worked for me).

Spoofing the VM so it doesn't report as a VM is possible, albeit difficult and what works for one app, might not work for the other.
