Passkey 9.2.1.7 warns of "new copy protection" on two new releases from Shout! Factory:

and says they might not decrypt or play properly. They do play, in a Region-B copy of PowerDVD 17 Ultra and BDInfo -- I'm just mentioning for reference.

Hi,

Please post the log file, thanks. And attach all the files of the original disc except *.m2ts file.

Thanks!

Hi Wilson,
Thanks for your response. I've attached the log file (only the most recent part pertaining to the two troublesome discs).

Uploading the zip file fails as exceeding the size limit. But I've just received a PM from Signals offering me another way to upload it, so I'll do that instead.

Many thanks!

Hi,

Got the files, we will check it ASAP, thanks!

Hi,

Please try it again.

You said that two discs have the problem, but you send the files of one disc only. Please also send us the files of another disc, thanks!

Sorry Wilson, since they were from the same distributor, released at the same time, and generate the same error message, I thought one example would be enough.

The log file for both discs is quoted above in this thread. I'm just uploading the second disc now (without the m2ts files) via Signals' method.

Thanks!

[Wilson.Wang]

Hi,

The second disc is supported, please try it again and tell us the result, thanks!

Wilson

Hi Wilson,
Yes you're right -- Passkey 9.2.1.8 now works fine with the second disc (Land of the Dead) I uploaded.

Just to confirm: The first one (Dawn of the Dead) still generates the error.

[Wilson.Wang]

Hi,

We will check it again, thanks!

Thanks Wilson. I've retested the discs now that Passkey 9.2.1.9 is up and running, and these are the results:

DAWN OF THE DEAD
https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Collecto...e+dead+blu+ray

Theatrical cut: requires the region to be manually input, then warns of "new copy protections". Disc is accessible under Passkey, and can be played in PowerDVD.17.

Unrated cut: no issues under Passkey 9.2.1.9.

LAND OF THE DEAD
https://www.amazon.com/Land-Collecto...e+dead+blu+ray

Theatrical cut: no issues under Passkey 9.2.1.9

Unrated cut: no issues under Passkey 9.2.1.9

So, not a major issue now, since all four discs do play under Passkey 9.2.1.9.

[Wilson.Wang]

Hi,

For DAWN OF THE DEAD, please update to the new version 9220 and try again, thanks!

Wilson

[MacEachaidh]

Hi Wilson,
Checked with 9.2.2.0, but the result is the same: just the one disc (Dawn of the Dead, Theatrical version) still has an issue (requires manual input of region, and then warns of unrecognised copy protections) but still plays anyway.

I've taken the liberty of uploading the data from the disc (without the *.m2ts files), in case that helps.

[Wilson.Wang]

Hi,

Please try it again and tell me the result, thank!

Wilson

[MacEachaidh]

Hi Wilson,
Yep, that's got it. 9.2.2.0's response is normal now, doesn't require manual input, and doesn't give messages about unknown protections.

Many thanks!
