Play DRM-protected videos and movies on Google Nexus 10

In this article, we are mainly talking about what is DRM, how do we know when our video files have DRM on them, and how can we play video files on Google Nexus 10 if they are DRM-protected. Let’s check the answers one by one.

Question 1: What is DRM?

DRM is an acronym for Digital Rights Management, a broad term used to describe a number of techniques for restricting the free use and transfer of digital contents. It is most commonly found in video and music files. The purpose of DRM is to prevent unauthorized redistribution of digital media and restrict the ways consumers can copy content they've purchased. DRM products were developed in response to the rapid increase in online piracy of commercially marketed material, which proliferated through the widespread use of peer-to-peer file exchange programs. Typically DRM is implemented by embedding code that prevents copying, specifies a time period in which the content can be accessed or limits the number of devices the media can be installed on.

Question 2: How do I know when my video files have DRM on them?

A: Commonly, you will know right away if DRM is in place. Any one of these situations is very likely DRM:
- You are using a M4V file purchased from iTunes Store;
- WMV files purchased from Amazon Instant Video;
- You are using a WMA file;
- In some instances, AAC files have DRM locks;
- Digital Copy movies included in your Blu-ray and DVD purchases;
- You need specific software or specific music player hardware to play the file;
- You are limited to how many times you can download;
- You are limited in number of hours/days you can download;
- The number of different computers you can download to is limited;
- The number of times you can burn a CD is limited;
- You need a special password and/or logon ID before you can play the file;
- You need to reply to confirmation emails before you can play the file.
