AACS 2.0 is cracked?

[indyjoe1977]

That'd be it.

One of the other well known programs just announced a UHD Ripper and Copier but they are very careful to indicate it will copy or rip "unprotected" discs. But yet when you click on the product and see the screenshots, the same disc they are ripping is Smurfs 2. Makes you wonder if it rips UHD discs in general but they're afraid to say they've cracked AACS 2.0 because Hollywood would come down on them hard!

I purchased a drive that supported UHD 4K discs and can confirm the well known program you refer to does not support protected 4K discs I.e. all of them.
They recommended DeUHD which I have found is rather unreliable and does not support discs which are in the list if they came from a different country (even though they are meant to be region free)
Until DVDFab decrypt protected discs the software seems pretty useless imo.

If you do have a drive that can read BDXL (UHD) discs, MakeMKV would produce an AACS dump for each disc it cannot decrypt (all of them currently). Make sure you do send these dumps to svq@makemkv.com .

i was just curious if you dont update your firmware on your uhd friendly drive will you still be able to convert 4k uhd disks and to prevent you oprating system from automataly updating firmware on a uhd friendly drive by its self? windows.any ideas as to when we will learn offically if aacs 2.0 has been defeated?

As far as I know Windows never automatically updates hardware firmware, does it?

AACS 2.0 will be cracked when it's cracked. There's no way to know when this might happen. We just have to be patient and wait. In the meantime, as volume keys are discovered, UHD ripping is possible.

Windows itself has historically ignored firmware updates, but some applications have a history of downloading and installing firmware.

The last time I allowed PowerDVD on my system (it was a "free with drive" version from quite a few years ago), it installed a "driver" that would periodically download and update the drive firmware. I got rid of it after that, and won't in stall it again, so I don't know if they've "reformed" their ways.

i appreciate info,just wasnt sure just wanted to ask

[smartieyoung]
