BluRay cracked

Not quite Vurbano.

This release is not for everyone! This is only for those who wants to experiment with early version of Blu-ray decryption.

Known limitations:

Don't support BD+
Don't support Volume unique key
Only support one CPS unit key per disc
I don't clear the HDMV_copy_control_descriptor in the stream
Don't have any FAQ or document so far


The above is a quote from the individual stating he cracked a BluRay file (and not the movie). Follow the links to get to where he has posted his findings. Maybe he cracked one of the menu files. But even he stated in one of his many posts that this was a data file and not the movie. So far no one has come up with a cracked copy of any BluRAY or HD-DVD movie yet.

Good try through Vurbano. Keep hopeing that someone will bust the movie code on HD movies and sooner than later Hollywood will enact the HDCP copy protection and all HD content will not play on analog inputs. I am sure everyone here is hoping for your success Vurbano. NOT!
 
Huh? HDCP means nothing if the data has been ripped. I hope both schemes are eventually circumented so end users have more options to use with their legally obtained media.

I dont even want to make a copy to another disc, I want to archive to a central media server so I can watch any movie I own anywhere in the house.

Reading that thread over at avs is hilarious. I dont get people's obsession over one or the other technology.

Maybe you should read his post again..

The playback seems to work with VideoLan

Because I don't have any Blu-ray equipment, I will need the help of the community to go further with Blu-ray decryption.

I have only test this with one video file...

And then read some of the other posts after the release of backupbluray.

If noone has come up with a decrypted HDDVD movie then how come they are all over usenet and bittorrent? Obviously it has happened.
 
I think it is awesome. I store all my DVD's on my media server. I don't want them scratched or damaged. I cut out the menus and other garbage since we just want to watch the movie.

We watch them on the 3 modded XBox's on the network, 1 HTPC, and one pc with dual displays(one is 21inch widescreen LCD).

I couldn't imagine having to put a disc in a drive again to watch a movie.
 
Well, not sure why some say (in other threads) that being cracked is "death"; as history has shown us; being cracked can actually HELP sell/push a product even farther into the mainstream.
 
Well, here is the problem. Once the studios decide that HD content cannot be protected all HD content will be encyrpted with HDCP use. What that means is that you will no longer be able to use analog inputs for most HD content. This not only includes HD movies but HD OTA content too. HD OTA content now has flags that can be turned on and once that happens all analog will be downconveted by your settop box. Once that happens you will have to have at the very minimum DVI to view such content. If you think that this is a good thing you must not own a analog only HDTV. Those folks would be shut out and then could only view HD currently out on discs.

Once this monster's head is cut loose who knows what the studios will do next. Besides, theft is theft. If you are making a copy for yourself that is one thing. But if you are supporting HD-DVD because you can download free movies over usernet and bitorrent then HD-DVD will soon be dead. Maybe that is why Universal has not announced that they have extended there HD-DVD exclusive contract. The other studios not supporting HD-DVD will not ever support HD-DVD and they will continue to move quicker to BD+ and HDCP. Man, this is a slippery slope and I am afraid we are all moving towards the abcyss!

Not true...
 
Not true...

Ah, you don't know do you. Every settop box has that built in for analog out for OTA HD. Those content flags were approved in 2003. The studios have held off but don't think for one minute that they will not enforce copy protection and require those flags enabled. Dishnetwork has said many times that they will enable that chip when instructed to do so by the studios. Every other provider including OTA HD providers also would have to follow suit. The studios said they would hold off till 2010 in hope that most of the analog HDTVs would be replaced by then but if we give them no choice in order to protect their media rights.....?

Yes I do know that this is not true.... 100% of the set top boxes do not have this broadcast flag you talk about nor do all of the OTA/QAM HD PCI cards.
 
Im not sure what the BD fanboy Joesp is so upset about. EVERY format that comes along WILL be cracked. We all know how cracking DVD killed it. :rolleyes:

I still don't understand why people think BD is so "superior" as it continues to be claimed. There are minor technlogical advancements that do not warrant the higher price tag.

HD-DVD is less expensive with comparable results.

51GB disc has been manufactured, so space isn't an issue with HD-DVD anymore.

BD's 24fps native, nice but not many people will understand nor be able to fully appreciate the benefit.

BD Java has not yet reached the wow factor of IME.

HD-DVD Players are cheaper (HD-A2 on Amazon is sub-400 level.)

Cheap influx of HD-DVD players coming soon.

Major studio support will sway whichever way the market goes.

Cracking, which is inevitable on all platforms, may actually benefit the popularity of the platform. The reality is that the average joe doesn't have time to try and figure out how to rip, DL, handle ISO's, RAR's and PAR's. While the gaming industry may have something to worry about since its base is more literate in these activities, the movie industry's fears are paranoia.

good points except that we wont see the 51 gig in production until 2008 and the market will sway which way the studios go eventually. Makes no sense not to double your sales if things stay the way they are now.
 

Vurbano, I wear the BluRay fanboy as proudly as you wear the HD-DVD fanboy. I personally do not care if BluRay is cracked. All of my equipment is capable of passing HDCP digitally. I was thinking of the some 6-8 million HDTV analog sets out there that will be relegated to downconverted signals if the studios start demanding the protection be turned on.

On another note, I am not going to try to explain all every nuance of downconverting because I went thru this with several other early adopters in 2000. We all got upset when we found this out. All HD settop boxes that have analog out for hd also have a chip that when turned on downconverts HD to half resolution on those analog outputs. Now maybe you don't know your settop has that chip in it and I am sure the company that sold it to you did not tell you that but it is there.

At least Charlie @ Dishnetwork was honest about it with Dish's very first HD settop. He admitted that the chip was there and that it would not be turned on unless the studios required it. He also said there was nothing he could do if the studios so required this. If you don't believe me do a search and I am sure you will find those posts if they are still here.

It does not make any differance which settop box you have or from what company. The analog output can be downrezed and that would also affect OTA HD.

Now, any HDTV that has DVI, HDMI or an internal HD tuner would not be affected providing you are using the digital inputs and not the analog. If you do not know this information it is the dirty little secret that most early adopters already know about and most companies do not talk about. This was the deal made between the studios and the content providers so that we could receive HD over cable, satellite and OTA.
 
One of the many reasons I have the My-HD OTA receiver. No broadcast flags for me....and drops OTA and QAM straight to TS files for easy commercial cutting.
 
How much did that cost? And how well does it do in pulling in distant digital OTA signals?
