I haven't tried it yet since I don't know if those are just DVD's in digital form or actual VODs but I would try the method someone else posted in regard of getting the VODs directly from Ankama's site. But I'm not sure if it works with iTunes.
here is the copy past of it: I'm not the same guy you are addressing this to, but since I've been sitting on this info for some time now (I figured this out myself, actually) I will tell you (and you people in general) how to get your goddamn Wakfu VOD episodes... WITHOUT fucking around with DRM removal shit.
This method still requires you to buy the episodes, and there's no cheating it away, ya dirty pirates.
So anyway. You guys ever noticed that you can, well... stream the episode from Ankama's website once you buy it? Yeah... here lies the whole fucking core of what I am going to tell you. You need a program called Video Cache View (google it) A FLV demuxer (google it) and some kinda mp4/mkv muxer (google it). So now... once you buy the episode, start off Video Cache View. Start off Opera or Firefox (I don't care which one... I am certain this works with those two, so I'm recommending them). You can look at the options of the program if you want, make sure that Temporary Folder is checked. If something's wrong, you can always check opera/firefox too to see if it solves it.
Anyway, once you've done all of that. Enter the page of your bought episode, set the stream to highest bitrate quality (4500 is max I believe) and let the episode play. Meanwhile check into videocache view if your streaming episode is noticed. If everything is well, you should see one file. press F5 few times to see if the file size increases. If it is, then all you have to do now is wait for it to fully download to your hard drive. Once you notice that the filesize is no longer increasing (remember to press F5 to refresh from time to time) Usually the episode is about 700 something mb. Just like the wmv version with drm.
Now, but you might say: MusicRippanGuy! THAT'S A STREAM! IT'S PROBABLY OF HORRIBLE QUALITY!
However I say: NOPE.
The stream has same fucking bitrate and looks as good (if not better) than the wmv version.
Now once it's downloaded, you need to Select the file (DON'T CLOSE THE STREAM PAGE YET) in video cache view and then select "copy selected file to". Then just choose the location to where you want this file to be. It will copy this file from you cache folder to that place.
Now it's just simply a matter of your choice. If you want you can demux the flv with some demuxer and then remux it into mp4/mkv or you can watch it as is (which is possible too) with the help of some codecs and a good enough media player (I use MPC-Homecinema).
WORD OF ADVICE: Do not try to skip through the stream, else you end up with incomplete episode. Just let it run till the end. And remember to check in VCW on the file size.
You can turn off the volume in stream, if it bothers you. It won't affect your episode. SERIOUSLY.
Yes. It really is a quite high quality stream, as long as you select the highest HD option. (4500)
Welp, I hope this will help someone. I for one, screwed myself over and can not even use the wmv drm files, so this method saved me. If only I've figured it out earlier.
Peace.
