 Posted: Thu, 28th Dec 2006 06:27 Post subject: HD-DVD AACS DRM Cracked? |
|
 |
Can it be? Is Hollywood's new DRM posterchild AACS (Advanced Access Content System, see more here) actually quite breakable? According to a post on our favoritest of forums (Doom9) by DRM hacker du jour muslix64, his new BackupHDDVD tool decrypts and dismantles AACS on a Windows PC. Just feed the small utility a crypto key [none released with application, more about it in FAQ], and it'll dump the video right off the disc onto your hard drive, supposedly playable in any HD DVD compatible player. If true, this would instantly become the DeCSS of high def optical, as AACS is the copy protection scheme used not only by HD DVD, but by Blu-ray as well.

If that is true, I laugh at the movie-industry. They spent ages on AACS, both HD DVD and bluray releases were also in part delayed because of it. 
Now, who do you think are going to download 25gb movies? And more importantly, who can be bothered uploading movies at that size?

x264, my man... requires a pretty nice rig to run well, but it's awesome stuff. Take one of those 25gb movies and turn it into something quite more manageable... 4-5gb for a great quality rip.

I wouldnt mind see dvd sized divxHD rips. 900x500 sized rips are around 2 gigs with 5.1 audio, with a 4.3gig sized rip you can probably do 720p res with ease if not higher.

I meant xvid obviously, but it's al lthe same shit for movies. TV-Series I could watch in those formats because I usually watch them on my LCD monitor. |

Are they? Only place ive seen caps like that is on adsl and that is crap. I got 100up like most people have where i download, no access there if you got less then 10 up so should go fast. And then it probably spreads out to you sooner or later.

You cant be serious. I have many HD Xvids and they are night and day better than any DVDRIP. On both my 720p projector and my SXRD in 1080p. And there would be no point in ripping hd content to dvds, what are you playing it in?
The only thing i have seen better than my HD Xvid rips are my HD-DVDs. Havent tried Blueray , and dont plan on it.

Of course, that's what I meant if it wasn't clear enough. |

Decryption Keys For HD-DVD Found, Confirmed
>> From slashdot.org:
| Quote: |
It appears that, despite skepticism, Muslix64's BackupHDDVD was the real deal. Starting from a riddle posted on pastebin.com, members on the doom9 forum identified the Title key for the HD-DVD release 'serenity.' Volume Unique Keys and Title keys for other discs followed within hours, confirming that software HD-DVD players, like any common program, store important run-time data in memory. Here's a link to decryption utility and sleuthing info in the original doom9 forum thread. The Fair Use crowd has won Round One; now how will the industry respond?

Man, when 720p 4gb film rips come on I'm gonna be a happy man. 20gb is too much, unless I plan to burn and watch again and again.
Superman Returns already being upped to usenet!

Superman returns = 26 gb.
Now bring on some cheap media and some cheap hd burners and I will be a happy man. I am guessing it will take a while though.

look just face it. some people have lower standards than others. for some people 'vhs quality' is perfectly clear... these people will NEVER get what we see in high definition, so its pointless to argue with them. those people arent stupid... just dont get the fuss, because they arent as 'in to' media as the rest of us... theres nothing WRONG with that... i just sure as hell wouldnt wanna be that way
