There is no such program and discussion of DRM circumvention is not allowed here.

There is no discussion of by passing DRM here but, if you went to an analog source out of WMC, DRM would not apply.

Like component.

If your using HDMI and your getting DRM based issues, it's normally a driver based issue, do some searches here, you can find something that might help you get to the bottom of your issue.

True, but you may have to deal with CGMS-A.

In short, you're kind of boned.. it's impossible to play the content on anything apart from the device it was recorded on. If you can get a display attached to the Win7 PC you'll at least be able to view it (like DavidinCT suggested), but otherwise you've got a file that is impossible to view.
