BackupHDDVD, a tool to decrypt AACS protected movies

[frogman]

@Emon I can't download anything from rapidshare server!

Can someone post it to a nntp news server. Under alt.binaires.test. Newzbin will pick it up. Thank inadvance.

Perhaps mods this should be a sticky in that it would save bandwith. Of course If I am out line ... Please feel free to delete my request.

[hajj_3]

dont use rapidshare for anything guys, its rubbish, use sendspace.com no wait times or restrictions there.

WOW emon, that looks amazing, we should all use your version of backuuphddvd and use that to modify in the future.

its beautiful!!!

hope it works, does it also fix the IME like in a seperate thread, does it also auto detect the key from in ram when windvd is playing it like the seperate app in another thread. if you can add all these features into this version it would be AMAZING!:)

edit: your version holds the keys stored in the program that have been released on the net, it would be much better to calculate these sha1 and keys from the disc/memory rather than just having a database.

[Mistar Muffin]

I have posted a modified version of BackupHDDDVD at hdkeys.com that, in addition to having online key retrieval, can also get it's own keys from memory if WinDVD is playing. It's a work in progress, but it worked fine on Full Metal Jacket (USA). If the key cannot be found in keydb.cfg, it asks whether the user wants to go online or attempt a retrieval from memory. If they select the memory option, they are prompted to press ENTER when WinDVD is playing. Once the memory dump is completed, the user is free to close WinDVD and the key is retrieved automatically.

To be done:

* File cleanup (memdump is left on HD)
* Add basic GUI from this thread
* Pause and prompt user to close/stop WinDVD once memdump is complete.

Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I would suggest to integrate code from the C++ keyfinder made by "ape": http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120970
This solution does not require any memory dump file or third party tools. A much nicer solution IMHO.

I was working on a C# port myself but looks like NghtShd beat me to it. I did create a nice looking wrapper GUI for BackupHDDVD using C# .. just couldn't post it earlier because of the 5 day posting restriction for new users.

Get it from here (http://rapidshare.com/files/12581074/BackupHDDVDGUI.zip.html).
And here are the screen shots .... let me know if you guys like it or not.


Emon,

This is one excellent piece of software.

Thank you very much.

Much better than earlier version.

Not to mention polished look, the very fact that I can stop backup at any point is worth a lot to me.

Status window is very good to have with info about specific keys belonging to the specific files.

Maybe a progress percentage display, at least for the main feature(s) would be nice to have too.

Help / About with your home address and phone number..:D just kidding.

[Adub]

Yes, Emon, excellent work.

For those of you working on GUI's, how about incorporating the IME fix talked about here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=939276#post939276


At the end of that thread there is also a modified version of BackupHDDVD v1.00 to automatically do the deletion and editing for you. But it doesn't really have a gui like emon's or Mistar Muffin's.

[clashmon787]

I don't see any reason there shouldn't be translations into any language people might want to develop in. I used C# for a several reasons (and, BTW, prior to now I've never done more than a couple dozen lines of C# code):


I am an OS X user, and the JAVA version seemed to be working (it ran, both the GUI and non GUI versions, but no hd-dvd drive to test it with). If this gets ported to C# and the JAVA version dropped, I don't believe there is a means of keeping it runnable on OS X (aside from mono, but I don't know enough at all about it). I see that the sourceforge site has the JAVA version. Is that going to be continued to be updated in tandem with the C# version? Does the C# port have a sourceforge site? I just wonder, because it seems like at this point there are quite a few GUI efforts, and code is starting to branch out, with certain "versions" having certain features, and others not.

Maybe if the base algorithm/base could be rewritten as a C command line app, and then people can make GUIs in any language they want (for any platform). This way modifications to the base C app could then be incorporated by all different versions?

[trueimage]

does this software copy the entire disc yet? or just the TS folder? I'd like to be able to backup, then choose play from directory and play as if the disc was in, menus etc...

not complaining, this is great software, but that is a part that would be easily implemented I'd think
thanks

I agree on this point. All of the versions so far produced should be posted on to the sourceforge web page. GUI and non GUI, plus mods and patches.

The problem with this is that alot more disks are coming out with IME on them, and inorder to get playback to work, the workaround breaks the menu.

:logfile: no worky for me, i got .net installed, the only hd film i got is king kong no way to try it on others,

under status nothing happens... only when i hit stop, it appears under status that it stopped

what am i doing wrong?

good gui Emon


by the time all this work by everyone be incorporated.. its gonna be 1 nice hddvd app

keep it up guys!

I used it with King Kong, worked like a charm. 1 hour 15 min to backup.

[mb2696]

does anyone know about multithreaded coding? would with all the multicore chips out there now, it'd be awesome to have it take advantage of that.

Anyone knows about multithread coding here, and it's been mentioned.

Since BackupHDDVD mostly takes time in a huge DVD/HDD I/O, it's not a real issue at the moment.

I ran into the same problem. I did two things so I'm not sure which was the fix. I was backing up Training Day so on the Key Database tab I made sure I had Training Day selected. The folder I was decrypting to was Training Day (two words) and I shortened it to TrainingDay (one word). I've seen apps run into issues with spaces in a directory field so figured it was worth a shot. I dunno if either will work for you but they're worth a shot.

[XKCorp]

Now 5 days that I am waiting to post, it's long!

Here a little old version of the GUI (0.0.3), I added a little multi-threading in DecryptEVOB.java : two new threads, one for decrypting and one for writing on HDD. I didn't have time to add one more thread for decrypting, maybe next...

The ZIP file also contains a native win32 EXE, which don't need Java to run, it also may be faster with some optimizations :)

I don't have an HDDVD drive to test if it doesn't work, it's difficult to say :D

just one question, once backed up, what the list of software that can be used to play the backups?
thanks

[melakai]

Any software that already plays HD movies. Some allow you to play files from disk. Others will play from a drive letter. Software exists to emulate a drive fro a directory.

I do not know c++. In fact, my java is at a rather beginner level. I'm a first year CS major and I've only have one semester of java. My area of expertise has always been web design and programming (like PHP).

I do think there is a way to connect to the Windows API using Java and access memory directly, and I will research this, as it would be a better solution too. Bad thing is I spent many many hours on the current method of reading the memdump to just throw it out the window immediately. It was so difficult becuase I wanted it to be as fast as possible and use as little ram as possible, so it creates its own 1k buffer and checks character by character for the search string. I admit, it's quite possible that the way I did it was much harder than necessary, but thats the downside of learning a new language. People are welcome to use the other keyfinder if they wish, I just thought an integrate All-In-One solution might be apealing to some, even if it's not as elegant of a solution.

I will start research the WinAPI and see if I can access WinDVD's mem on the fly. Thanks for the feedback.

that is what i did originally as well, using readprocessmemory to do 1 byte at a time, it is ridiculously slow. to give you some idea, that method took over a minute to scan, what i changed it to (reading an entire region of memory at a time using readprocessmemory) takes <10 seconds. someone can probably convert my code into a command line app which printf's the key and then call that from the java pretty easily. alternatively you could use something like SWIG: http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Java.html#java_basic_tour

[xyz987]

Just to clarify, I have only decrypted the AACS layer of Blu-Ray. It's good news but not that cool. BD+ is the other protection of Blu-Ray. I need a BD+ protected movie to crack it too.


muslix, don't waste your time with BD+, it is just FUD.

Read this article:

http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=884

As soon as an attacker gets control over a BD+ virtual machine the game is over. Nonetheless an attacker can develop his/her own BD+ virtual machine and run it on a PC.

That's why you will never see a BD+ movie. BD+ is just FUD.

[HyperHacker]

Ahahahaha, you're kidding me? It just runs executable code from the disc to tell it how to decrypt? That's awesome. XD


Oh, and (getting back on topic) great work with BackupHDDVD everyone. I'd try to help out if I had an HDDVD drive, heh.

Like Galileo2000, I used your GUI to backup the HULK HD DVD. It worked flawlessly! Also, like Galileo2000, it only took 1 hour, 15 minutes!

.EVOs play back great with PowerDVD 6.5! Well Done! Please, Don't Stop working on this program!

Nice work. Only one slight problem.

At first I just thought the progress math was wrong because it would finish files at 200%. After looking at the decrypted files they are actually 2x the original size.

Yes, since cwm9's update on the decoder @ post #997, there hasn't been any intelligent discussion regarding improving BackupHDDVD's decryption quality.

[djdafreund]

I have a question that i need help with please.
I have just ripped King Kong, and played it back with PowerDVD 7.1 HD, but it's VERY slow. Like 2-3 FPS with audio skipping as well. I have a considered fast machine, so i am VERY surprised this is happening. Did i do something wrong with the rip? Or is it cut and dry? Something i could try?

My Specs-
-AMD Dual Core 4400
-ASUS (can't remember ATM but at the time was top of the line rated- 1 1/2 years ago).
-2 Gigs of High Speed RAM
-WinXP Pro 64bit (Currently using 32bit until i reinstall and go back to x64 now that all my drivers are fully supported)
-GeForce 7800 GTS
-2 Raptor drives in RAID Stripe mode, and 1 400gig drive.
-Audigy 2 ZS audio card.
-23 inch Viewsonic widescreen, using DVI (Already tried VGA cable, and still chugged playing back.)
-46inch Mitsubishi HDTV, but i don't use multi monitor mode anyway currently. (read not to for this anyway.)
-Using newest Purevideo Codec, and newest nVidia graphx drivers also.

And idea's? Just wanting to make sure it's not anything i'm doing wrong with ripping it. Anyone out there rip King Kong and play it smooth and fine, and what are your specs. THanks a bunch guys.

[Metro]

@djdafreund - check out the IME thread in this forum. You will need to edit your XPL file in ADV_OBJ and then it should work fine.

What Metro said.

I've been experiencing the same issues until I used the guide posted in the IME thread. I used King Kong BTW.

All is well now, and even my ancient Radeon 9600 SE plays it.

[Ábudos]

The Java EXE GUI version of BackupHDDVD runs a good 10x slower for me. I would just stick to the CLI version or rewrite it in somthing better than Java.

[djdafreund]

Thanks so much guys. Truth to the matter is, i was getting an answer for my friend to help him out. Thanks so much. I have a nice system myself though, and had the same problem, so i thought i'd ask for him. I figured it would work out of the box since it's the same x360 HDDVD drive, same movies, same program. But thats making an opinion based from no knowledge. Haha. Thanks again guys!!!!!!!

Thanks for your great work muslix64! I do not own a hddvd drive yet, but being a java programmer I wanted to contribute a little.
I have modified DecryptEVOB.java file to use java buffering instead of custom made chunks, it looks cleaner that way. I also increased buffer size which can increase reading speed a little.
Is the BackupHDDVD sourceforge project active? I did not want to create a fork, so I attach only source of a modified file for anyone to test/include it.
