Hello out there, I am new to this list, and with great interest I read about your progress on CSS unlocking and decrypting. There is one thing I don't understand: Why don't you take a look at the existing software decoders that are available for Windows? I've got installed 4 of them (XingDVD, WinDVD, Cinemaster engine, PowerDVD) and each one is capable of playing every CSS encrypted DVD I own. In theory it should be possible to take out the CSS decrypting code part and use it in the LiViD project. Even copyright reasons hold you back from re-using the code, it should help to learn a lot about the process. Any comments about this? Greetings from Munich, Andreas

This is what has been done. -- mit freundlichen Grüßen, Michael Holzt kju@flummi.de 58566 Kierspe, Germany kju@debian.org
