BackupHDDVD

If someone thinks that his fortune is on Hi-Def DVD content downloading via the Internet, well … now it’s time to revise his business plan.

Here it comes! An upset customer, called muslix64, broked the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) protection. He made available an open source program named BackupHDDVD. The program bypasses the content protection – providing the individual successfully obtained the title and volume keys associated with the HD DVD. Once the individual has the keys, the AACS protection can be sidestepped, and the HD movie content can be extracted.

Why muslix64 did that?He gave PM (private message) interview to Slyck.com explaining his motiviation.

Many developers start from this command line software to create easy to use version.

Emon has created a nice looking wrapper GUI for backupHDDVD using C#.

XKCorp also posted his win32 EXE and Java version.

Also, HDkeys.com has Volume Key and BakupHDDVD modified for you.
