Quothe Chris, from writings of Wed, Apr 03, 2002 at 02:14:14PM -0500:
Rumor has it (haven't gotten around to trying, as
most trailers suck
anyway), if it is streamed with QuickTime, and you have the QuickTime 4.0
or earlier player, you can bypass their anti-save ability.
Also, I know a number of the non savable streams become saveable in
QuickTime 5.0 IF it is registered as a Pro version.
The funny thing about all this rubbish about copy-protection of audio
and video is that one can use very simple means to bypass it. For
example, just connect a few wires and use audio out to audio in. Just
use a program, like one of the audio mixing programs, for example, or
whatever, for making a digital recording. Ok, so one is going from
digital to analog to digital, but, one can do this without inducing
noticable distortion. As to video, there are digital cameras. :-)
Now, I guess providing the aforementioned information makes me a
criminal too. What's next, the outlawing of analog audio equipment,
and people being arrested for the posession of such equipment or
related paraphanalia such as cassette tapes, phonograph styli, or RCA
plugs attached to shielded cables?
Humm... better send Apple's QT team to jail,
sounds like they are
releasing software that can bypass copy protection. :-)
We need more people like them. :-) BTW, has anyone here had any luck
with making a copy of a game called Undersea (Underwater?) Adventure
for PC-DOS?
