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!
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...
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.
Me TOO! I want this really BAD! :
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.
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.....?
bingoHuh? 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.

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