The background is as follows;
I've owned a video iPod since 2005 (yep,before Apple sold movie downloads) and have purchased several TV shows and movies for it over the years.
A month ago I upgraded to a Blackberry Curve,which can play the TV shows but not the DRM-ed copies sold by iTMS.
This brings me to my two part question;
One,what tools exist to allow me to reliably convert my current DRM-locked movie files into free MP4's that my Blackberry can play?
Two;Is there a service or download store that sells TV-shows in a downloadable format without DRM?
I ask the second question because I'm not looking forward to buying boxes of DVD's at $50 per set(one of several seasons at that!),and then having to deal with the work to decrypt,side load and convert each disc one at a time -just to get them onto my BlackBerry.
Ideas?
