Hi Gina, This is really helpful, thanks. We agree about removing DRM, I think, I have no qualms about doing that for my own personal use, but also think that if you don't have to, that would be ideal.
Sounds like the easiest option will be to work with some of the other tools people have mentioned. Thanks so much for your response.
