The mobidedrm script is supposed to handle such files, since version 0.10. A good source of up to date info on such tools is Apprentice Alf's Blog.

I purchased a few hundred mobi (.prc) books many years ago and can't get them into Calibre 0.7.35 (that will ecentually get to my new Kogn ebook reader). These files all read fine using Mobipocket reader, are encrypted but have no PID. I've scanned these posts over the past week and can't find anything definitive or that works.
What I have done so far-
I've downloaded and run mobidedrm (0.5) with the PC's PID (god knows what I am supposed to use!) and I get "Invalid encryption: type 1".
I also can't seem to get modedrm (using _plugin.py in zip file) into Calibre: It says "No valid plugin found". I've checked and re-checked the file and it looks ok to me.
Finally, in frustration, I seek expert help!
