The above is a thread describing some posts from a Chinese website.
Apparently the NEC drive in the Toshiba HD DVD player has a non-encrypted firmware. Because the firmware is not encrypted, it can be copied to a PC and somehow used to play back HD DVD files with the appropriate software. This claim has yet to be verified though.
BTW, does OS X understand UDF 2.5?

Nothing like a 50GB movie on your hard drive! (Or is that blu-ray?)
Where is HD-DeCss? Is there a Mac version?

Single layer HD-DVD = 15gig, Double Layer = 30gig
single layer Bluray = 25gig, Double Layer = 50gig

Digital copy protection always has been and always will be snake oil. Efforts to improve it are a waste of time. You just need to make one that's good enough to stop the average user and be satisfied with that.

The problem with that is that the average user is no threat to media companies. The real threat comes from the people who do this sort of thing for a living, and no current DRM method is doing any good with stopping them.
That's the problem with all current DRM methods: they infringe on the legitimate rights of legitimate users, while doing nothing to stop the real threats. This sort of thing shouldn't even be legal, but sadly, that's the current copyright regime for you.

It turns out it was a hoax.

However, this hack no longer works.

It kind of makes you wonder how good of a job they did at all, doesn't it?

Especially when there is no server-side key to exchange. Without that, then the consumer has all the keys at his disposal and its only a matter of time.
