the vlc shows
"mp4 private error: drms_init( priv ) failed"
I'm using vlc 0.7.2
what did I do is installing vlc on my windows xp
then copied the key from c:\documents and settings\$username\
application data\drms to ~/.drms, actually I copied it to
~/.vlc, ~/.vlc/.drms as well, but it still doesn't work
my itunes is 4.0, the very earliest version I think.
any idears of what's going on? btw, my linux is on /dev/hdb
