Now change one byte in that area and try if Power DVD will play a movie. And try changing the file at different places (but only change at most one byte compared the the backup) and see what happens.

This could pin-point the exact position of the Device Keys used. But its possible there is some kind of checksum which disables this technique. If it works all the time then I suspect there are no Device Keys in it at all.
If I change one byte at any point in the file the player will not initialize. I get the 1103 error.
I’ve watched the changes several times with several different disc’s inserted as first play. I always end up with a different .fcl file.
I don't think the changes are from am internet update, because the computer I'm testing this on has no connection.
