Following the previous release of the BackupHDDVD tool that can be used to extract unencrypted files from HD DVD discs if you have the appropriate keys for the AACS protection, hacker muslix64 has managed to do the same for Blu-ray. He has revealed the Alpha version of BackupBluray, basically the same thing for Blu-ray as BackupHDDVD is for HD DVD.
This release is not for everyone! This is only for those who wants to experiment with early version of Blu-ray decryption.As was mentioned, this does not support BD+, which is an extra layer of protection unique to Blu-ray. Nevertheless, this is yet another excellent accomplishment for muslix64.
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...
You have to provide your own CPS unit key.
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...
Stay tuned!
