    I have a video file that when i try to play it it asks for a username and password. It has a ezdrm license on it i believe. Does any 1 know a way get around the license or strip the video from it and watch it? Thanks

    No...removing DRM is explicitly illegal. If you don't have the license you can't play it. It is most probable that this file is from a pay to download service that you do not have a subscription to.
