I was quite happy that i finally could watch my HD-DVDs on my 30" Dual-Link Display with the help of BackupHDDVD. After looking into the code i was quite unhappy that it can not decrypt everything correctly and i didn't like to see it corrupting NAV_PCKs. I checked the MODs that appeared and again was not satisfied that they don't address these things. In my eyes they looked like cosmetics for the proof-of-concept code.
So i started developing my own program, hopefully beeing more use-of-concept. It uses the same approach as BackupHDDVD and uses the same key database format. My goal is to backup a HD-DVD without any traces of AACS. Because i don't have the HD-DVD spec it will take some time to reach it, there are still some things i have to figure out.
Key features so far:
- Dual-Core supported decryption of EVO / M2TS files (for harddisk to harddisk speed records ;o))
- Support for every pack type of an EVO (including in-place decryption of ADV_PCKs, excluding Sequence Key Sections)
- Decryption of every ARF protection type
- Multiple files (currently CLI only) or complete disc mode
- Usage of a key database to get the decryption keys or direct retrieval of the keys off the source disc
- Supports HD-DVDs for Standard / Advanced Content (but not both on the same disc), Blu-Ray ROM BDMV
- Experimental Blu-Ray Recordable support (with multiple CPS Units, BDMV, BDAV with Aux Directories and Thumbnails)
- Automatic BD+ removal using the BDVM Debugger or manually by supplying a correct Conversion Table (currently CLI only)
- Streaming output of EVO / M2TS files to stdout
- Very much console output for free ;o)
- GUI
Since version 0.4 DumpHD can retrieve the required keys off the disc itself by using the aacskeys library.
Since version 0.6 DumpHD can remove BD+ automatically by using BDVM Debugger.
A tutorial on how to use DumpHD if automatic key retrieval does not work can be found
