DRM is just encryption. It being open source and everyone seeing what math is used is only going to make it stronger.

Sure, and maybe this is my lack of understanding speaking, but if you're free to edit the source, recompile, and then use the DRM software, why couldn't you just edit the source to save the video?

DRM is encryption where you give the end user all information needed to decrypt the data but still want to restrict how that decrypted data is used.

They'll need to implement some kind of signing mechanism, or the users will just plug in a modified blob that pipes the output to a file.
