I would imagine the license the studios pay is very expensive.i wonder if the next copy protecton scheme the studios come up with will be just as complex as the one used for 4k discs.curious minds wonder😌

Studios do not “come up with” or develop AACS protection schemes. AACS LA, LLC does. As discussed above, studios just license it. For those curious minds, AACS LA makes available many of their forms/applications (which lists some of the fees) to purchase licenses/keys for mass disc production for multiple media formats on their website.

Some of these forms are extensive and list different types of fees throughout. These can add up and there are other fees behind that (implementation, authoring, etc) that also come into play for studios.

Regardless, as UHD BDs gain market share it may become a non-issue for studios to use other AACS 2.0 revisions. As profits may end up vastly outweighing costs. The format is still in its infancy and can very easily take a different direction with these revisions.

That cat and mouse game.

I also refuse to buy DeUHD to backup my non-existent copies of Fury, The Patriot, and Stand By Me. Because I refuse to buy them.

... to make your .mkv as normal. I can 100% confirm that this method absolutely WILL allow you to decrypt all three current AACS 2.1 discs (Fury, Patriot and Stand by Me); that the resulting .mkv files are, in fact, 4K HDR resolution with relevant HD sound (I think Dolby Atmos); and that no errors ...

... can't be decrypted Failed to open disc Thanks. 'Fury' is one of 3 AACS v2.1 UHD discs currently unsupported by MakeMKV. The others being 'The Patriot' & most recently, 'Stand By Me'. The upside is that soon, they MAY be supported. https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20244&start=15#p77710

I take it the protection 2.1 on Stand By Me is the same as Fury and The Patriot which if I understand correctly cannot be decrypted yet.

This is correct. It will take at least one MakeMKV version update to decrypt these (now the grand total of 3) AACS2.1 discs.

I take it the protection 2.1 on Stand By Me is the same as Fury and The Patriot which if I understand correctly cannot be decrypted yet.

... Mike must know what's up with it as I sent him the dump a week ago. I'm not going to bother any more about this disc as it now joins Fury and The Patriot as being undecryptable. At the end of the day there's more to life than worrying about something you have no control over.

As with many things in this industry, there are licensing costs. With each version/variation of AACS comes additional features and in turn costs attached. Studios do not own this technology. It’s a business model. They pay for the additional features/upgrades like in many other apps. (E.g Windows Ho...

Now this would be plausible because as discussed here there is precedent. One studio tested the waters with it. However, at this level it becomes a costs game. That is, if the studios are willing to pay the extra costs that come with using those other variations of AACS 2.0. I am not understanding ...
