Premiere and License Protected Video Clips

[like2edit]

In Premiere is there any way to play a license protected clip- a clip that can't be played unless a license is first acquired (via Internet of course) by the video player?

For example, I've found if you try to play a liscense-protected WMV clip with Premiere you get a message something like "file type is not supported". It appears such a WMV can only be played with Window Media Player. So, after WMP acquires the clip's license I'm wondering if there's some way to use WMP and Premiere in combination to get the clip to play in Premiere.

I'm not sure about the license aspect, but you can import WMV files into XP's free MovieMaker. From there I suppose you could edit it, or under the export options, save to computer and chose a high quality setting (1.5 or 2.1 mep/s I think) which creates an mpeg file that Premiere will recognize.
