Copy Blu-ray and HD DVD Movies with Print Screen Function

Author: 

Blu-ray and HD DVD should be highly secure as you know. Well, German CT magazine found a huge whole in the copyright protection of Blu-ray and HD DVD movies. There is AACS and HDCP, which when enforced make it impossible to copy movie data from a disc. CT found out that you can make copy each frame of a movie by just pushing print screen on a computer. This process could be automated by dedicated program of course. They tested this with the Blu-ray Sony Vaio VGC-RC 204 and the HD DVD Toshiba Qosmio G30 notebook.



CT got Toshiba to acknowledge the copy protection hole and future version of the player software will not have this issue. It is now out there though. All the gory details will be in the print issue of the CT magazine available on Monday.
More details on Heise (German).
