First HD-DVD on Torrent Network
About a month ago, an anonymous hacker spread rumour that he had cracked the AACS protection. Now the first HD-DVD release is officially on the torrent network.
A hacker called ‘muslix64‘ made a program in December last year, which was able to work around the AACS protection. With this program you can copy both HD-DVD and Blue-Ray disks.
The movie Serenity made his way to the public with HD quality. The DVD is about 20 gigs in size. This release is viewable with the program PowerDVD. The only problem is that your PowerDVD will crash after the movie is finished. Other then that, there are no problems.
If you can find this release, I hope it’s on a very fast tracker. Good luck with downloading 20 gigabytes!

ill never a hd-dvd
instead i can download 30×700MB movies
Actually some other HD-DVDrips surfaced on the notorious swedish tracker. If search over there works, query for “HD-DVD” or “HD DVD”.

This means all those years they were developing Vista with lots of protections and DRM got flushed down the toilet… coz ppl can crack HD content on XP. Hahaha
“Pitch Black”, “Batman begins” & “The Chronicles of Riddick” are available for download at the bay. All above 20GB, therefore you should pray that there are lots of swedish peers with their blazing 100Mbit connections in the swarm. Good luck!
Yeah. The Protection has been cracked and there is a bunch of movies already floating around as torrents.
but 20GB is so huge I rather wait for x264 re-encodes which bring the files to a reasonable size
Yep, I don’t see any reason why I would download that. x264 delivers nearly the same quality with a reasonable size. On the other hand, I am used to HD-Movies released as TS, they are up to 15 gig large and even my X2 has problems playing them.
20 gigs?? Now that somebody has cracked the CP, the bandwidth needs to catch up. I gotta admit I got nothing but respect for these crackers/hackers sticking it to the greedy MAN!!
I would rather want a 720p movie. My old P4 2.8 can’t really play 1080p that well
At least not the trailers on apples trailer site 
found this, its link to the hdbits site tracker torrent.

even my P4 3.0 w/1GB DDRRam has slight problems playing 720p in MPC..
actually i wanted to BUY hd equipment but as it doesn’t only require a hd drive but also graphics card and a compatible monitor (at least for the time being) – i think i’ll stick to rips… movie industry shooting itself in the knee once again.
there are some hd-dvd rips on the net. not only on the bay, log on to a ratio site for a better speed.
the x264 or xvid versions of hd-movies are smaller, but with an older pc you’ll have a problem to watch the stuff. the rips are better for these machines (for example my AMD2000+). but it works with powerdvd.

” Batman.Begins.HD-DVD.1080p.VC-1.DDPlus.5.1.EVO
Video: 1920×1080 29.97fps 1080p VC-1
Audio: English (Dolby TrueHD+ DD+), Spanish, French
VC-1 is the video codec, DDPlus the audio codec
This release DOES NOT play well in PowerDVD 7.2.
The problem happens with around 1/3 of all HD DVDs.
It’s related to the enhanced features of the movie itself.
Updates on the hd-dvd will be posted soon.”

So it’s actually not the first HD-DVD
i’ve never seen HD movie, so i’d be interested to d/l it once
but fuck downloading 20gb every time. Thats like 3 seasons of Lost 
Superman Returns, The Mummy and Miami Vice are also available in HD DVD.
I’ve searched for 2 hours, couldn’t find only one HD-DVD. Some help plz?
i got black hawk down @4.5 gigs x264
great release.
@user: this one?
Black.Hawk.Down.HDRip.X264.DTS.iNT-TLF
I’d like to know where to find HD-Rips in original, the 20 gig-versions
@xcite:
Check Thepiratebay.org with the query mentioned above.
@asdf: thx
yes xcite, this one.
great movie to go HD…
I have a theoritical question for you guys.
If you download a HD-DVD movie from bittorrent. What if you burn it to a Blu-ray disc and ran it on your PC or PS3?
What would happen? and why wouldn’t it work? Technically it’s all data.. right?
LIke i know it shouldn’t work at all. But i’m curious on what technically is different in terms of the computer playback engine of a HD-dvd vs. a Blu-ray playback program.
- Ron.
#23: Why wouldnt it work?
)
It a RIP, no copyprotection.. It will just be like any other “blu-ray” disc.. It will probably work just fine to play up..
It would probably get messy if u cut parts out that was 4.5gb and put on a dvdr and tried to play on your computer. Tho a dvd-player doesnt read in enough speed to make the video go smooth.(I would guess.
And for u guys complaining about the size. What internet-speed did u have 1999 when the dvdr came with 4.5gb?
This hd-dvd & blu-ray will probably be here for 10years or so.
hm 20gb is actually not that big
i already downloaded much bigger torrents .. just a matter of time and bandwidth ;p
at my speed it’ll take me about a week just to grab it! lol
For me it would take about 7 hours at full speed and realistcly about 24 hours..
Not that bad and I know there are much faster Internets available for a reasonable price, so yeah 20GB is not an insane size..
But I might add that x264 re.encodes are the ones I would (and probably most of you too) get. They are under 10GB and they have almost the same quality.
Crazy. I have a 50gb limit a month and even those on ‘unlimited’ in the UK will have fair use policies which make downloading such things extremely problematic.
Oh well
Cigol:
I’m on telewest broadband on a £35/month package with 10mbitdown and 768k up, unlimited bandwidth. We even get crappy TV thrown in, which im thinking about bying a nokia dbox for and hacking it but thats another story
I live with 5 other people in my house, two of which are heavy downloaders like myself..so we’re using probably around half a terabyte / month between us.. telewest have not even done so much as to bat an eyelid.
Cable. If you can, you should.
i live in austria and
got 6144 down 768 up, and like 150 to 300 gb / month traffic
(=no limit) for 59€/month
not actually cheap but okay ..
8Mbit down 1Mbit up inc. phone voatm (like voip)
28 euro
20Mbit down 1 Mb up ADSL2+ in France
(Attainable bitrate 945 kb/s (up) 22788 kb/s (down))
29 EUR/month
yeha i got adsl2+ but dam not those speeds geez i hate austarlian internet speeds
I’ve heard people banging on about x264. But what is it?
