Encryption is related to hardware/driver/OS. You just can't burn the ISO and expect the backup to work in a licensed player, because it's still protected. But unlicensed players don't care about that and you can play the m2ts file of a protected backup without any problem. Licensed players won't play the ISO if they detect it's a copy, because the encryption (AACS 1.0) is gone but the protection (BD+, Cinavia) is still there. Then this ISO might still be protected (for example with BD+) but it's not encrypted anymore, because AACS 1.0 was bypassed in order to access the data on the disc in the first place and create the backup. That licensed players can't play a protected BD ISO, I understand, but you can't make the ISO of a bluray without AnyDVD or similar to first decrypt, hence allowing access to the data on the drive. Anything else should be discussed elsewhere.Ĭlick to expand.Do you mean even in unlicensed players? And do you mean protection or encryption? these are two different things. So until we can indeed make legitimate backups of our original discs, AACS 2.0 hasn't been cracked. I certainly don't want to read anything about this on AVS Forums, as I believe it's correctly against the rules. I have no interest in knowing that a group of thieves somewhere can illegally share intellectual property online, and that other thieves are happy to download that content without paying for it. Please, let's discuss here ways in which AACS 2.0 prevents legitimate owners from making backups of their original discs. No one knows, as you correctly say in your second post. It might be partially cracked, or it might simply be leaks of the files without any cracking taking place, just simple data theft. that any original disc can be read with unlicensed software), it simply hasn't been cracked. Until someone publishes code or releases software proving that AACS 2.0 has been cracked (i.e. AFAIK there has been no link established between the SGX vulnerability (which will be patched by Intel anyway, which means that unless you have one of the flawed processors you won't be able to decrypt and backup your discs) and the illegal release of a handful of titles by a group of pirates.
