The AACS Licensing Administrator introduced new concepts against piracy of high definition videos. During a conference in Berlin they explicitely aimed at Slysoft's AnyDVD HD software by implementing further protection of the keys in the yet to be finished version of the AACS copy protection.
The final AACS version will require a recognition of watermarks embedded to the video to prevent camrips. These watermarks have to be recognised by all AACS compliant readers and halt the playback. Furthermore an encryption of the so called "data keys" will be added. These keys differ between drives and discs meaning that volume keys, processing keys, or title keys that will be retrieved by hackers in the future, will not enable others to decrypt the movie because, data keys will be calculated differently between different drives.
The keys that are compromised by AnyDVD HD so far will be revoked within a few days meaning that players will require new keys that can be updated either online or by reading them from new discs.

.. right..
But I understand, for what other selling points do you have left?

Keep dreaming. I guess they will never learn. Watch and see these being cracked on the first day.

actually this could work, as DVD-Audio contains a similar technology, UNLESS someone can find a way to remove the water marking? The keys can be easily broken buy making a program to per say mimic a drive, however when you would play the disc back it would not work since the water marking is there, software would have to be made to filter the watermarking out so that the player doesn't see it and thinks the disc is just a home made video.

P.S. BTW, these companies really need to start and realize that there is always someone smarter then them. its a nature law of evolution, or have they forgotten that?

in addition, would this not make new discs unplayable in older HD machines? seems wierd that they would change up everything now.

I do not understand.
OK , new players will block playback when they reach watermarking ... so ? old players will ignore it right ? More then that how it will affect AnyDVD HD if it will ignore them as well ?
The second part does attack AnyDVD HD but theoretically some specific drive behavior can be emulated.

Don't AACS realise that many people are breaking their encryption to get around the stupid restricions on AACS playback mostly on PCs. Most media players on the PC don't support AACS and probalby never will and certainly won't give a crap of there is a water mark on the picture or not.

try, try, try, try... keep wasting your money
there is always someone smarter who will hack it just to say they did it... with no intent of financial gain
get over it... there are a small percentage of people out there who will never purchase your products.. they want copies and are happy to have them... the majority of people who have an HD player will got out and buy or rent them... your spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on protections that will in the end get cracked.. no matter what you do....
Instead why don't you spend your money on something a bit more worthy.. like improving the quality of the content you put out... better product will create better sales....
They say piracy is killing the movie industry.. yet they had a record breaking summer... hmmm.... must not be killing it too bad.
They keep thinking if they can create a format that is un hackable everyone will be forced to buy their products... what they don't seem to be able to get through their thick heads is that the people who are copying them now.. will only wait until they can copy them from a different source.. sattelite, cable tv.. wherever they can.. there are those who are not gonna buy no matter what.. so give it up.

LMZ IMHO the DRM is not designed for the purpose of stopping techies from making copies. The real idea behind these new DRM schemes, is to make the vast majority of the *honest* people out there, not only buy these HD discs, but to continue to pay after the purchase. The people behind these new sophisticated DRM schemes, are investing these monies, in order to create new, lucrative revenue streams. Things we do now for free, such as time shifting, streaming etc., will be a "service" or "extra" that you can PAY FOR. Anyone buying these players and discs is actually digging their own grave! Long live DVD- Long live CSS.

In Response to "Lord KiRon" the older Player models will be updated by net or via Disc, to perform the same as new players.
