Feature request / Question re other Amazon digital downloads #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Feature request/question -- no defect

Question:  Has anyone on this project looked into the Amazon digital
downloads for video?  The product for that is UnBox, and it is only
available on Windows.  I would assume, dangerous as that is, that Amazon is
using similar techniques, and that the clamz code probably could be reused
to some extent in creating a similar command line tool to download to
non-Windows environments.  

Please provide any additional information below.
I would have put this into the wiki somehow, but shyed away from being the
first/only.  If desired, I can cut and paste this there for easier discussion.
Thanks!
Michael

As far as I know, the Unbox video downloads use a completely different system 
from
the MP3 downloads.  I gather that some form of Microsoft DRM is involved, in the
"downloaded" videos, anyway.  Which I would assume is a bit tougher to crack 
than the
encryption used on AMZ files.

There's also the browser-embedded Flash player - maybe that would be easier to
reverse-engineer?  Or here's another option: get stuff like that to work in 
gnash
and/or swfdec already. :)

In any case, this is interesting, but not really within the scope of clamz (for 
now.)

Closing for out-of-scope-ness.
