Ages ago I bought a movie off of a certain company’s video streaming service. We will call them GRC for short since I do not want to draw the attention of their bots. I downloaded the movie onto my PC via the GRC Windows 11 app, but rather than a simple .mkv like I hoped, I found a folder with 5 different files. Two of them are .mp4s whose names end with audio_5 and video_12 respectively. Two of the files are something called .MPD files. One of them is something called a .DFXP File.

Does anyone know how I turn this mess into something I can play off a Plex or Jellyfin server? The *_video_12.mp4 is 110% encrypted since nothing plays when I run it through VLC.

    and grab the video from something like 1337x in a decrypted format.

    This was extremely tempting to do, but this is a bit of a niche movie and the only copy I can find on public trackers (the cons of being a debrid user) with any seeds is one of absolutely abysmal quality. Like my 480p DvD version on my shelf is better than that 1080p torrent.

    They use PlayReady DRM so a browser extension might be able to pull the decryption key during playback. One could download that same stream from that playback season then use ffmpeg with the pulled key to decrypt.

    I will look into this. Thank you :)
