Is anyone able to rip these 3 documentaries for me? I have two of them from when it originally aired in 2005 or so but they are converted from VHS to digital so are very poor quality. Any help would be appreciated:

This program is a little bit like James Burke's Connections or the Day the Universe changed -- bit wonky because it has a professor in suit and ite romping through the British countryside and mingling with hippies. But fun.
ripping channel 4 stuff. It's DRM protected. so you get an DRM encrypted mp4 file It's DRM protected. BUT.. no key to decrypt.
If i have the time this week I'll rip it the long way with OBS and upload
any help you could give would be most appreciated...oddly, this is one ofif the few BBC productions I've not seen anywhere in the torrent sphere...ever.
BBC?
just a wee slip i take it? Channel4 bud
No, I hadn't appreciated that distinction. It just seemed like another publicly funded "British broadcasting" program which, technically, it is but you are correct to point out that Channel 4 is separately incorporated from BBC. Neat.
Still doesn't change my point: it's never been online, whether Torrent or Youtube. I've definitely seen worse British programming so it is not that bad but it is obviously a niche topic (archaeoastronomy).
Wikipedia:
"Channel 4 is a British public-service free-to-air television network headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom. The channel was established to provide a fourth television service to the United Kingdom in addition to the licence-funded BBC One and BBC Two, and the single commercial broadcasting network ITV. It began transmission on 2 November 1982. Although largely commercially self-funded, it is ultimately publicly owned; originally a subsidiary of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA),[1] the station is now owned and operated by Channel Four Television Corporation, a public corporation of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport,[2] which was established in 1990 and came into operation in 1993. In 2010, Channel 4 extended service into Wales and became a UK-wide television channel.Channel 4 is a British public-service free-to-air television network headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom.

only partially publicly funded. dunno about that wiki article.. C4 has had a presence in wales for years in the Welsh language. As we all know the Welsh alphabet is allergic to voewels in general.
It's mosatly funded by selling adverts. Ity also makes a lot of moviers too and funds a lot of movies. As I recall "Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels" being one such project under the "Film4" banner.
unlike the very easy to rip BBC these t wats are not bud.
got machines to build and get tested before the courier comes friday! after that though i'll try an OBS rip and see if that does the trick
just tried MV , thought they might have it but nope.. so next week i promise to spend the time to record it off the screen with OBS and upload that
