Unable to play movies using Flixster app

As I have some movies that have a digital download code I have opened a Flixster account to access them on various gadgets. With all the hassle I've had so far (including the Flixster app not being available on Windows 8 in the UK) I'm not sure it's worth it.
I have downloaded the Flixster app and used it to download The Bourne Legacy. I can see this in Root/Android/Data/net.Flixster.android/files/wv. I thought that I could then copy it to the SD card and play it from there but have found out that this is a problem due to DRM protection.
I have found a workaround of copying the movie to the SD card and delete from the Flixster folder and copy back when I wanted to watch. Irritatingly, Flixster names the film with a string of numbers rather than a sensible name so it's not easy to identify each film.
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the film on an SD card as this would be much easier?
