Simple answer?
You dont!
If you look at the licence agreement im sure you will see that you not supposed to do anything other than watch it.
Do you mind if i ask which website you got these films from

Nothing shady about it at all. The site provides films that you have to pay for through subscription and will only allow one indvidual to view on the one PC to which it has been downloaded. Standard procedure for most legal download sites.

It also means that you cannot copy it to any other medium like CD or DVD and if you try, and they find out, they will cancel your subscription.

Sounds just like the iPod downloads terms and conditions.

My previous post was deleted (im not really supprised to be honest ) so my comment about it sounding shady dosent make much sense.
Plus i dont buy music or vids online so i wasnt too familiar with the DRM and with all the links removed i wrongly assumed it must be pornography ( i didnt word it that way last time so thats probably whay my post was binned).
Thankfully it doesnt seem to have caused anyone any offence so im pretty pleased it was deleted
Anyway, sorry to all concerned but im now making a point of dusting off the wallet to buy some vids online then at least ill know what im talking about next time
Have a great day
