Can only watch movie on MS app

[girlsome 0]

Hello,

 

I purchased a boxed set of movies online from Microsoft - I own them, but can only play them on MS devices - like my desktop, phone or tablet.

 

I can download them to a USB stick, but it won't play.  I contact MS and they said that is the way it is - only works on MS devices using their Film & TV app, even though I paid for them (only licensed, not owned I guess).  Won't work on VLC.

 

Anyway I can convert it to something like that will play on a media player that is not the MS Film & TV app?   I have an old TV (RCA cables) and use a media player.  I transfer to USB, pop it in my media player, watch it on my archaic but good enough TV.  No  I don't want to run it through my computer on to the TV.  My desktop and TV are not in the same room.

 

When downloaded it says .mp4 format, but the name looks like this:

 

The Hobbit- The Desolation of Smaug (Extended Edition)_SMIDD32B05CE-7347-4AAF-852A-.....

 

 

Suggestions a free DRM removal tool?  Anyone doe this?

 

Thanks,

 

Mr. V
