The easiest is actually decryption, but you just have to be aware of version numbers and not blindly update iTunes. Screen recording shouldn't ever even enter into the picture in the first place, which is why I didn't mention it - the biggest problem with it being that such software relies on having enough resources to spare to run both it AND the playback software. And considering how crappy Quicktime's H.264 decoder is, that's a tall order. If you're not running a system newer than say, 3 or 4 years, you are out of luck to do that well.
Decryption, on the other hand, will work fine even if you're sitting on a 7 or 8 year old system - because that process doesn't require decoding the stream, and after it's over you can use libavcodec-based solutions (ffdshow, VLC, mplayer) or CoreAVC to handle the decoding, which are both worlds faster and more complete than Quicktime's H.264 decoder.
I downloaded iTunes 8.0 a couple of months ago to update some stuff on my iPod. And I use Windows XP. Damn.
