Intervideo WinDVD detail information

One of the nasty things of the new blue laser format is for many consumers their improved copy protection. While many users believe and claim that a format that can be copied will gain popularity it's probably not the itention of the backers of their format to see their protection be circumvented.

The movie studio's who are always very protective over their content play a key factor in the acceptance of a format, if they release popular movies on one format it's more likely that people will purchase players and discs of that format.

Unfortunately for the HD-DVD camp they seem to have a big problem. We already reported that the format was suffering hacker attacks and someone claimed to already have cracked it.

All that was required were unique keys used for the decryption of the content and now people on the Doom9.org forums are posting them openly. The keys can be found by looking in the memory of Intervideo's WinDVD.

With a special tool and these keys it's possible to rip HD-DVD movies and of course that means, these movies will be put up for download on the internet.
