PC hardware will not play UHD material announcement [Old News]
« on: January 25, 2024, 07:05:32 pm »
Please see the attachment. This is a change to improve DRM one would think.
I wonder if there will be any workarounds.?

This news is a couple of years old at this point and is related to intel dropping its "Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX)" from the 11th Gen CPU onwards.  As a result, Cyberlink don't support playing encrypted UHD-BD on newer CPU's as they no longer have SGX. 

Decrypted UHD Playback will not be impacted. 

The real Q will be if this impacts the companies that provide the decryption SW for future UHD-BD. There have been no issues to date on this front.

I bet there's like 2 dudes actually using this to play back a disc (an exaggeration but it's valid) and not just like... ripping their discs like a normal person.
