DRM Walkman Help please!

Hey,

I just got a walkman and have downloaded videos from BBC Iplayer but when I try to put them onto the walkman it says DRM not supported??

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks For any help!

    You can't. iPlayer supports a limited number of portable devices. Yours isn't one of them.
  • Ahh that's annyoying! I got a leaflet in the walkman pack saying use bbc iplayer for your walkman then when I download to desktop and transfer it won't let me.

    I'll keep trying but thanks for that.

    My Archos model isn't officially supported but it works. When I just copied the file across I got a DRM error. When I transferred it via Windows Media Player/mode it plays fine - I think because WMP downloaded some licence file first IIRC. Try that?
