   Remember the 2003 "Extreme" DVD edition of Terminator 2: Judgement Day that came with a 720p HD version of the theatrical cut in a protected WMV9 format that is now completely useless?

     @mausmalone It did absolutely work at the time, although on my machine that I built in 2004 in anticipation of Half-Life 2 audio and video would eventually go out of sync.

     @anthk One could also just download a blu-ray rip since forever. That's not the point. The point is that it doesn't work out of the box, and the format's license prevents one from legally decrypting the files.

     @dosnostalgic I think there were DRM breaking tools for WMV since forever.
