How do I make mpegs from Windows Media Center...

Hi...Is there a way to make mpegs from the TV I record from Windows Media Center? Is there a way to bypass the DRM?
Are there other options out there that are better than WMC?

I don't remember exactly how to do it, but tutorial seems to have a familiar procedure.

Graphedit isn't very user friendly, but it has a simple concept. You see all the steps to render a media file and you can change it. So, you just put a MPEG muxer in place of "output to screen/speakers". WMC files are just copy protected mpeg files, since that's what your tv tuner outputs.

Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of good alternatives to WMC. I gave up and just find what I what to watch on Bittorrent trackers.
