Cyberlink denies PowerDVD problem created BackupHDDVD

2 January 2007 9:15 by James "Dela" Delahunty | 4 comments

Cyberlink, the company behind the infamous PowerDVD line of software has denied that there is a vulnerability present in its software that would ultimately allow the decryption of AACS on a HD DVD disc. Specifically, the company said that the encryption "Title Keys" are not kept in the system memory where one could guess hacker Muslix64 got them. The company also said the YouTube video showed no proof that the software was used in the hacking process.

BackupHDDVD is made to strip the AACS content protection from HD DVD discs and rip the contents to a HDD. However, the tool alone is useless, you need to proper keys in order to decrypt the content and it seems others have not been able to obtain the keys. Cyberlink defended its software in an email to blogger Chris Lanier.

The company said that it is confident that its software protects the content of HD DVD discs. As for BackupHDDVD, the video promised more details will emerge in January, so hopefully we will have more details then.
