Downlod BBC iPlayer DRM videos to Android devices

Here is a specific tutorial for Windows users to remove DRM from BBC iPlayer video and convert BBC iPlayer videos to Android devices for watching.

According to BBC, you can download TV programmes over Wi-Fi to watch later without needing an internet connection, but "Devices that don't currently support the digital rights management (DRM) system that we use for BBC iPlayer can't download programmes to watch later." If you download a programme, you can watch it in seven days only.

About DRM

DRM is a technology used by content providers, such as online stores (iTunes Movie Store, Amazon, BBC, etc), to control how the digital music and video files you obtain from them are used and distributed. So it is the distributor who decides what the device you use to watch movies purchased from their online movie store. Unfortunately Android devices have not been granted to play DRM-protected movies for the time being.

So what if my device does not support DRM? Here's a solution for your reference – cracking the DRM system and converting the BBC video (.wmv or .mp4) into free MP4 files that are naturally supported by any Android tablet/smartphone.
