What do you get when you put an X360 HD-DVD drive and a crafty hacker named muslix64 together for the holidays? No, no, not little muslix360's running all over the place. You do get a way to circumvent the HD-DVD DRM.

The same nasty DRM that prevents playback on "untrustworthy hardware", i.e. first-gen HD-DVD drives that do not have the newer DRM built in. It's a nice twist to have it cracked just as the format is beginning to take off.

The program allows you to backup video files on your local hard drive and play them back using a software player. However it leaves the task of finding the decryption key needed to do this up to the user.
