I was just curious to know if the DRM for Netflix downloads was ever broken. As a test, I use the Windows 10 Netflix app to initiate a download of an episode for offline viewing, found the download directory, and saw eleven separate files, all with numeric names (see attachment). The three files of size, 17,739 KB are the audio tracks, as analysed by MediaInfo (see second attachment). Simply appending ".ac3" to the file names enables their play-back in third-party media players (in MPC-HC's case, it will play regardless). However, the largest file containing the AVC-encoded video stream (see third attachment) is encrypted. One can append a container extension to the file name but play-back appears corrupted when initiated. This is, of course, Netflix's intention.
Would it be at all possible to break this encryption?
