How to Convert and Burn Protected WMV Video to DVD

I recently purchased a video from Amazon Video on demand, and I want to burn it into a DVD disk so that I can watch it on my TV. But when I tried loading it into Nero for creating a video DVD, I only got a message telling me that the file has something called DRM protection, I cannot go ahead to burn Movie to DVD, why?

Most Videos movies downloaded from Amazon Video on Demand, Zune Marketplace, Movielink, etc online stores are in DRM Protected WMV format that will control consumer access to those digital content even if you have bought them(e.g. you cannot make copies of media for personal use, or to transfer video from one format to another format, etc), so if you want to burn those your own purchased WMV video to DVD for playback on TV, watching them on home DVD players, or just for backup, you need to convert DRM Protected WMV to DVD format, then burn DRM WMV Movie to DVD, now let's go to the solution:
