NAME

Audio::M4pDecrypt -- DRMS decryption of Apple iTunes style MP4 player files

DESCRIPTION

Perl port of the DeDRMS.cs program by Jon Lech Johansen

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::M4pDecrypt;

my $mp4file = 'myfile'; my $outfile = 'mydecodedfile'; my $deDRMS = new Audio::M4pDecrypt; $deDRMS->DeDRMS($mp4file, $outfile);

METHODS

new

my $cs = new Audio::M4pDecrypt;

my $cs_conparam = Audio::M4pDecrypt->new( strHome => '/winroot/Documents and Settings/administrator/Application Data', sPfix => '.', dirSep => '/' );

Optional arguments: strHome is the name of the directory containing the keyfile. Under Windows, this will be found automatically if you have run the VLC player on an iTunes file. sPfix is '.' for unix, otherwise generally nil. dirSep is the char that separates directories, generally / or \.

DeDRMS

my $cs = new Audio::M4pDecrypt; $cs->DeDRMS('infilename', 'outfilename');

Decode infilename, write to outfilename. Reading slurps of an entire file, so output can overwrite the same file without a problem, we hope. Backup first.

DecryptFile

$cs->DecryptFile('infilename', 'outfilename');

More decriptive alias for the DeDRMS method.

NOTES

From Jon Lech Johansen:

    DeDRMS requires that you already have the user key file(s) for
    your files. The user key file(s) can be generated by playing
    your files with the VideoLAN Client [1][2].

    DeDRMS does not remove the UserID, name and email address.
    The purpose of DeDRMS is to enable Fair Use, not facilitate
    copyright infringement.
