Decryption Keys For HD-DVD Found, Confirmed

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?

Its amazing how alot of people assume something is fake so quickly. I remember when images of the 360 case were leaked showing the front and people thought those were fake and they turned out to be real. Kudos to muslix. Kudos to Doom9.

-          Asking for, or offering to hand out or distribute HD-DVD or BD-DVD Keys, whether they are volume or player etc matters not. Making your own backups is one thing.. asking for KEYS.. or offering them to others is a different thing entirely.

Great news! I'm glad this has been proven, although I think the majority were believers, now by the time I buy an HD-DVD Player/Burner hopefully they will be some nice GUIs out and about smile.gif  Thanks to all involved!!

I find the corporate talk about this being an attack on HD-DVD to make blueray look better funny.

I, as a consumer, will buy the alternative that has the fewest limitations, and in this case (so far) HD-DVD.

It is scary how the industry have gone on the "this will make everyone copy and we wont make any money" bandwagon and in essence making criminals out of everyone the last 30 odd years or so whenever a new video/audio system comes.

With things escalating as they have the last couple of years they better start listing more the the consumers, who actually are the once that buy stuff, then some lobbying group.

People tend to find ways to get what they want and this has been proven by history, time and time again...

(and again and again and again)

this has been there stand sence you could record your own cassets and vhs/batamax tapes. when it finnly got to the courts they ruled it was fair use and shot there stance down. now where in the digatal age and there doing it again the problem this time around is that its not 2 coraptions fighting it out its the custmers vs the corprations. and like you said they lobby there way threw the system. the problem with lobbying is they pay them and vote for them. so if they dont listion they probly whont get voted for again. its proof if people acully voted even on the smaller state votes it wouldent be a problem. it will evently get out of controle and the custmers will fight back but that time hasent come yet.

Does anyone know if this workaround removes the HDCP? I have the Xbox 360 drive hooked up to my computer, and when I try playing the movies on my projector hooked up through my DVI cable I get the HDCP error, even though all my equipment supports HDCP. So I would Like to be able to copy the movie to my hard drive and play it back that way. That would be the only thing that interests me at this point. Other than that I can't even think of what I would do with a 10 gig evo file.

This is exactly what its meant for you to be able to do. It removes the HDCP requirements so that people with DVI can watch a movie on their pc. Providing your pc is fast enough to play the HD DVD. But some people have experienced some frame skips and minor glitches.

I hope the rest of this year shows us some real improvement, like homebrew apps, instead of this pirate crap. grr.gif


Technology is a tool it can be used for good or bad. This willl help people not have to spend money on frivilous new monitors to play hd content also it will help people protect their investments and not have to buy new movies by keeping the originals safely stored away and running backups. Im happy with an upscaled line doubled dvd. The creative dxr3/ hollywood used to kick back in the day. Im gonna wait a while on any type of hd disc.

The only reason I even got the HD DVD drive for the 360 was because I traded in my PS2, and various accessories and was able to get the drive for like $20 out of pocket. I spent more money on my first movie than I did on the player. I would just like to be able to play the video on my HTPC so I can hear the Dolby True HD audio and other formats the 360 doesn't support, and get the DVI connection as opposed to the Monster component cables for my 360.

Did you even know what this is about?..here is a breakdown.

The user has a hd-dvd drive + hd-dvd movie and they have a slightly old but nice working projector that does not support hdcp crap, so what will he do, sit on his ass and wish the movie companies do something for him? fat chance, he spent lots of money for all this crap and he can't even watch it, this is where this will come in the user can decrypt their legally owned movie and watch on whatever device he has. i wonder what you will do in this situation where you don't support this alleged piracy...will you go out and spend another £1000 on tv or projector when your old one worked just fine?. if everyone had your attitude i am sure sites like this great site and all the freedoms they give us with our devices will be non-existent.

Anyway ..i am glad its possible and congrats to all those involved.
