Playing DRM licensed AVI files

Can MP play DRM licensed AVI files? I purchased a few videos of the wimbleton games and I can play them in Media Player. I get errors in MP. Can version 2.0 play these files?

I think you mean wmv files, as I have never heard of DRM'ed avi files before.

Unfortunatly I think the answer is no, the only programs that can play drm'ed wmv files that I know are WMP itself and a special version of zoom player. I even think you would have to pay a license fee to microsoft if you wanted to support drm in your application.

But I may be totally wrong here, if so I'm sure someone will step in to correct me.
