Every AACS decrypt now goes through the resolved key map (decrypt_sectors_
mapped): the map keys each content unit up front and a missing key fails at
resolve time. The old trial-decrypt path — try each held key per unit, keep
the first-tried plaintext on a miss — is gone; decrypt_sectors_impl's AACS
arm now fails loud (reaching it means a reader was built without its map,
which would silently apply a wrong key). CSS (self-descramble) and the clear
no-op path are unchanged.
Disc::sweep and Disc::patch resolve a whole-disc key map up front for a
decrypting pass (the fetch secures any missing CPS-unit key, fail-loud) and
decrypt via the map — clear nav/filesystem sectors are in no range and pass
through, so the separate content-range gate and the reactive per-unit
key-fetch recovery are no longer needed. extract_tree keys every unit with
the base Unit Key through the map (its encrypted-flag gate skips clear
files). Multipass sweeps stay --raw.
Removes the obsolete non-mapped-AACS trial/gate/recovery tests (the mapped
path and resolve fail-loud are tested directly).
The key map is now purely "these sectors use this key": entry_for returns
Option and an LBA in no range is left untouched (no default-decrypt-
everything fallback). resolve_mux_key_map builds explicit content ranges
for every case — single-CPS keys each content extent, multi-CPS keys each
extent with the key that opens it, and FMTS fills the non-segment content
with the base Unit Key so a whole-disc read decrypts content and passes
nav/filesystem through. Combined with the fail-loud resolve, a map can
never silently apply a wrong key, and clear sectors are never scrambled.
decrypt_sectors_mapped skips a unit with no map entry; read_plan keeps an
unmapped unit (pass-through content) and drops only alternate-phase
forensic units. Tests updated to the Option semantics.
mp4 demuxer (untrusted input): bound every allocation sized from a box
field (stsz/stco/stsc counts, stts/ctts run-lengths, per-sample and moov
sizes, plus an absolute cap so a sparse file can't inflate file_len);
guard the parse_stsd slice and a zero mdhd timescale; cap track count so
the per-track PID can't overflow; rewrite read_moov to handle size==0 /
size<8 / 64-bit largesize; parse esds/AudioSpecificConfig for AAC; write
tkhd duration in the movie timescale.
decrypt: resolve_mux_key_map now fails loud on an extent no key can
classify instead of inheriting the previous extent's key, so a keymap
never silently carries a wrong key; the sweep/patch key-fetch recovery
fails loud when a unit is still unresolved after the retry.
AACS: reject inverted forensic segments in both range builders; compare
the forensic index in u16 space so an out-of-range value can't truncate
onto a valid u8 index. RECOVERED_ERROR no longer latches the damage zone,
preserving the 30s wedge cooldown for a following hard error.
audio: AAC/MP2/MP3/FLAC carry the last PTS across a PES with no timestamp;
the DTS-HD extension-sync search is bounded to after the core; the MP4
16.16 sample-rate field saturates. demux_sink records the video reference
before the kind filter so audio:// / sub:// keep multi-clip PTS continuity
and the DELAY tag.
Remove a dead error variant and the AACS-unsupported-video code; codec
comments cite the primary format specs; assorted doc/naming fixes and
regression tests throughout.
Every DVD read path — the file-backed mux highway (build_iso_pipeline) and
the live-drive single-pass DiscStream — now resolves the per-VTS CSS title
key through one shared step, css::resolve_dvd_title_key, cracked keylessly in
playback order from the title's own extents. Removes the earlier design that
reused a single scan-time key (meaningless for a per-VTS scheme) and muxed a
detection-miss disc's scrambled sectors as garbage.
- Disc::scan no longer cracks a key up front; it does only the CSS bus-auth
read-unlock, hoisted before the UDF prefetch so scrambled small/menu VOBs
no longer cost a rejected read each (CSS-DVD scan ~25s -> ~6s).
- An uncrackable title hard-fails (E7023) instead of passing ciphertext as
plaintext; --raw skips the crack entirely; a Stop mid-crack surfaces Halted.
- DiscStream::new is now fallible and threads raw + halt.
- Fix a stale codec-parser doc claim (TrueHD/FLAC/MP2/AAC do gate via DropTally).
The prior wording described the round-1 'self-cracking per-sector' approach
that the audit replaced; rewrite it to match what ships (per-title crack in
playback order + scan-key reuse + loud hard-fail on an uncrackable title).
The last release left this pinned to the git tag v1.5.1; release.sh expects
a committed path dep on the branch tip (it swaps path -> git tag only in the
tagged commit, matching bdemu). Restores that state so a local full-workspace
build links the sibling freemkv-unlock, and release.sh's path->tag swap works.
A CSS DVD whose main title was mis-detected as unencrypted (the up-front
crack scanned the largest cell first and starved its budget in that cell's
clear prefix) muxed scrambled sectors as plaintext at exit 0. CSS leaves
the pack/PES header clear, so an un-descrambled sector muxes as a
structurally-valid but corrupt PES packet with zero loss reported.
decrypt_keys_for_title resolves a DVD title's CSS key two ways:
- Fast path: reuse the scan's cracked key when its crack_span covers this
title's VTS (no re-read; on a live drive no second bus-auth).
- Crack: on a detection miss or a different VTS, crack from the title's OWN
extents in a SINGLE scan in natural PLAYBACK ORDER (never largest-first).
One scan = one CSS-locked early-bail, so a locked title is not re-hammered
per cell against a live drive (hard rule #2); the 50k-sector budget is the
same accepted bound the disc-wide scan uses. Cracked -> key; Unencrypted
-> clear; ScrambledUncracked -> hard-fail.
ensure_title_decryptable hard-fails an uncrackable DVD title even when
detection missed, and passes a title that resolved its OWN valid key
regardless of the disc-wide css_error. descramble_region is unchanged from
v1.5.1 (validated-key seed).
Also rename the unlocker report's DVD entry CSS -> DVD. Bump 1.5.2.
Regression since the previous release, which added an MLP major-sync checksum
gate to drop genuinely-undecodable audio frames. The checksum itself was computed
with mismatched byte order: `crc16_mlp` is the correct crc_2D table (poly 0x2D,
MSB-first) but returns its two bytes in the OPPOSITE order to libavutil's
`av_crc`, and `mlp_major_sync_crc_ok` then folded in the pre-trailer word
little-endian while comparing the trailer big-endian. The net result never
matched a real major sync, so EVERY major sync was judged corrupt. That armed the
drop-forward on the first AU and, since no major sync ever validated to clear it,
collateral-dropped every following AU forever — the entire TrueHD track was
silently dropped. Its AUs then flushed only at mux end, so the track's blocks
landed physically after all the video: a decoder reading video+TrueHD had to
buffer the whole title to reach the first audio block and spiralled into an
unbounded memory runaway ("decoder ran out of memory"). Every TrueHD title
produced after the gate landed was affected; a title from the release before it
is clean. (The header-size parse — a frequent suspect for extended 7.1/Atmos
headers — is NOT the bug; it already matches ffmpeg's `mlp_get_major_sync_size`
byte-for-byte.)
Fix: compute the checksum exactly as ffmpeg's `ff_mlp_checksum16` —
`crc16_mlp(body).swap_bytes() ^ AV_RL16(word) == AV_RL16(trailer)`. Cross-verified
byte-exact against two real discs (a 7.1/Atmos title and a 5.1 title, independent
32-byte headers both validate). With the checksum correct, major syncs validate
and the drop-forward corruption protection works as intended.
Defence in depth: a major-sync checksum that STILL can't be validated (a genuinely
corrupt or as-yet-unparsed header) no longer arms the drop-forward until we hold a
validated baseline (`num_substreams` from a prior clean major sync) — so a single
bad header can never again silently drop an entire track.
Tests: the `finalize_major_sync` fixture now builds the checksum the corrected way;
a synthetic checksum-failed head major sync is kept, not dropped; the existing
baseline-then-corrupt drop-forward tests still pass. Verified end to end against a
real disc: the TrueHD track demuxes to a full, cleanly-decodable 48 kHz 8-channel
stream, interleaved with the video, instead of 0 bytes.
The HD DVD Title Key File (VTKF*.AACS) stores 64 title-key entries of 36 bytes
each — 1-byte BIFO + 3 reserved + 16-byte encrypted key + 16-byte binding MAC —
per AACS "HD DVD and DVD Pre-recorded Book" Table 3-8, confirmed byte-exact
against real discs (Freedom VTKF090, Dukes VTKF000: every 36-byte slot has
BIFO=0x80, a clean key, and a 0xFF binding MAC).
The parser used a 32-byte stride (a 12-byte pad in place of the 16-byte binding
MAC) with flag-based termination. That aligns entry #1 (key at offset 132, where
both strides agree) but drifts +4 bytes per entry after it and never terminates
(the previous entry's 0xFF MAC reads as a set present-flag), so it recovered a
correct key only for single-CPS-unit discs and garbage for CPS unit >=2. Every
multi-title HD DVD (Freedom, Harry Potter) was affected.
Fix: 36-byte stride, iterate the fixed 64 slots, take slots whose BIFO AV_FLG
(bit 7) is set, key at offset 4, slot index = CPS unit (skip empty slots rather
than terminate so a gap can't renumber later keys), and never read the trailing
16-byte TKF MAC as a key. Tests rebuilt on the real layout, including a full
64-entry file.
Also correct the VTKF-selection TODO in mod.rs: the AACS HD DVD Book gives the
selector explicitly (match the TKF's PLAYLIST_NAME field to the active
playlist), not the "validate against an encrypted unit" placeholder.
Reconciled against the new HD DVD reference (freemkv.org/docs/hddvd/); the spec
source is archived in freemkv-private/spec/.
The HD DVD AACS directory name and title-key filename are chosen by the
authoring house, but the resolver hardcoded a single spelling
(/ANY!/VTKF000.AACS, /ANY!/MKBROM.AACS, /ANY!/CONTENT_CERT.AACS). Real discs
diverge: Freedom (Memory-Tech) names its AACS dir AAC! and ships VTKF090.AACS
+ VTKF100.AACS; Harry Potter carries VTKF000/001/002/099. On such a disc the
hardcoded path finds nothing, so no MKB/title-key/cert is read and decryption
silently can't engage.
Replace the fixed HD DVD path constants with structural discovery:
- find_hddvd_aacs_dir() locates the AACS dir as the root child dir ending in
'!' that contains MKBROM.AACS (so the ..._BAK mirror is skipped; the dozens
of decoy advanced-content '!' dirs are excluded by the MKBROM.AACS guard).
- role_paths(udf, role) builds the ordered candidate list per role: the static
BD/UHD /AACS/ paths first, then the discovered HD DVD files — MKBROM.AACS,
CONTENT_CERT.AACS, and every VTKF*.AACS (sorted), not just VTKF000.
- read_first() is now generic over &str / String so it takes the Vec<String>.
BD/UHD unaffected (no '!' dir → discovery returns None, list is the /AACS/
constants exactly as before). Verified on real Freedom (AAC!/VTKF090+100) and
Dukes (ANY!/VTKF000) ISOs; unit tests cover both shapes.
Open item (TODO(hddvd-encrypted)): when a disc has multiple VTKF variants the
correct one must be chosen by validating its VUK-derived key against a real
encrypted unit rather than first-that-reads. Blocked on obtaining a genuinely
encrypted HD DVD image — all HD DVD ISOs on hand are already-decrypted rips.
A read was only ever judged "good" by the drive's SCSI GOOD status — with no
integrity check on the bytes. On dirty/marginal media a drive can silently
return best-effort ECC data (occasionally mis-corrected) with GOOD status, so a
rip could "pass clean" yet decode with errors, pushing corruption downstream to
the mux instead of catching it at the read.
Enable recovered-error REPORTING at drive-prep: MODE SELECT the Read-Write
Error Recovery page with PER=1 (TB on / DTE off so the data still comes back),
preserving the drive's own retry count. Marginal reads now surface as
CHECK CONDITION / RECOVERED ERROR. Best-effort — a drive that doesn't honor it
keeps its defaults (no regression), and on a clean disc nothing changes.
A recovered error is distrusted: it marks just that ECC block NonTrimmed for a
Pass N re-read (a clean re-read wins; a persistent marginal becomes an honest
concealed gap), and is counted in the pass summary. Crucially it takes a
per-block SkipBlock, NOT the damage-jump path — a single marginal sector must
not trigger a 64 MB skip that would discard good data on a lightly-smudged disc.
Give `info` the same forced-subtitle verdict the muxer derives during a
rip, so the two agree. A shared classifier (mux::codec::pgs::ForcedTracker)
folds a PGS track's display sets — forced iff every one carries the
forced_on_flag — and is used by BOTH the MKV writer and a new scan-time
probe that reads the title's PGS streams (reusing the TS demuxer and PGS
parser). The probe only overrides a track it actually observed content
for, so an undecrypted/unread stream keeps its vendor-derived flag. Gated
behind ScanOptions::probe_forced_subtitles (off for the rip path, which
detects forced while muxing without a second read).
Free-format MPEG-audio (bitrate_index 0) is a legal, decodable mode — the
decoder derives the frame size from the sync spacing. Dropping it was a
false positive on a clean stream, so it now passes the gate.
Three TrueHD state-machine fixes from an adversarial audit:
- A corrupt access unit drops forward to the next major sync, but only
the individually-verified corruption now feeds the whole-track poison
verdict; the resync run is collateral. A couple of transient errors can
no longer poison and discard an otherwise-good multi-hour track. The
shared drop tally gains a verified/collateral split for this.
- The per-AU PTS rate is refined only from a CRC-validated major sync, so
a corrupt major sync whose rate nibble decodes to another rate family
can no longer shift the resumed audio — a drop stays a silence gap.
- The resync clears only on a CRC-validated major sync, never on a runt
too short to hold and validate its header.
Flag a PGS subtitle track FlagForced when it displays subtitles and every
one carries the HDMV forced_on_flag (a dedicated forced/narrative track),
independent of the disc's vendor label metadata. The track header
reserves a FlagForced byte up front and it is promoted at finish() from
the accumulated display-set state. Only ever promotes — a track already
forced from the playlist metadata is never demoted.
A damaged audio access unit is now dropped rather than muxed as a
decoder-choking glitch. Sync is preserved — a drop becomes a silence
gap, never a shift — and every drop is logged. Detection is per-codec,
each mirroring the format's authoritative integrity check:
DTS core-header validity gates
AC-3/E-AC-3 native frame CRC-16 + bitstream-id range
FLAC whole-frame CRC-16 residue
MP2/MP3 header sanity + free-format reject
AAC-ADTS header sanity (raw AAC passes through untouched)
TrueHD/MLP major-sync CRC-16 + AU parity; corrupt AUs drop forward
to the next major sync, since decode state carries
across access units
LPCM and video are excluded by design (no in-frame integrity data;
inter-frame prediction). A shared DropTally handles counting, logging,
and a whole-track fallback for a mostly-undecodable track.
DTS-HD MA access units are a lossy core frame followed by trailing
extension substreams up to the next core sync. On source-damaged discs
(observed on the Bourne UHDs) the bytes where the XLL extension belongs
are neither a core sync nor an extension sync -- pure garbage -- which
desyncs ffmpeg's XLL decoder and cascades into 'Read past end of XLL
band data' / 'DSYNC check failed' across the whole track.
next_core_boundary now distinguishes three boundary states via a new
ext_clean flag on NextCore::Found:
- precise/recognized extension sync -> ext_clean=true (keep full AU)
- garbage at the boundary byte -> ext_clean=false (drop the ext)
When ext_clean is false we emit the DTS core alone (drop the smallest
junk piece, keep the frame and its PTS) and drain past the garbage to
the next core. Recognized-but-unsizeable extensions still ride the
heuristic scan and are kept intact, so lossless tracks are unaffected --
only genuinely corrupt extension bytes are dropped.
Bourne s1.dts: 1606 damaged frames / 691620 (0.232%), 93% isolated
single frames, worst run 3 in a row (~32ms lossy blip).
Parse the DTS core header (SFREQ/AMODE/RATE/LFF/NBLKS/FSIZE) → a ddts box
(sample rate, channel layout mask, core size, computed bitrate, LFE);
whole access units (core + DTS-HD extension substreams) pass through, so
an HD decoder finds the extension. dtsh when an extension sync follows the
core, else dtsc. Fit oracle now carries DTS / DTS-HD MA / DTS-HD HR.
Validated on 300 (real DTS-HD MA 7.1): freemkv's mp4 DTS track is
byte-identical to ffmpeg -c copy under ffprobe (dts / 48000 / 8ch / 7.1)
and decodes clean (exit 0). Channel layout correct.
moov now precedes mdat. At create() reserve a moov-sized hole (a free
box) between ftyp and mdat: reserve = round_up_4MB(16 B/sample ×
est_samples) + 4MB buffer, floored at 8MB. Because the hole precedes
mdat, sample offsets are fixed from the start — no rewrite, no offset
patch. finish() writes moov into the hole and pads the slack with a free
box; if the estimate is blown it falls back to moov-at-end. Streams over
HTTP without a pre-fetch. Reserve-math + box-order tests added.
Read side of mp4://: parse moov/trak/stbl (stsd codecs+hvcC/avcC/channel
info, stsz/stco/co64+stsc → per-sample offsets, stts+ctts → decode/
composition timing, stss → sync), rebuild a DiscTitle, and emit samples
as PesFrames in global decode order. Video NALs are length-prefixed in
MP4 — the exact framing the MKV muxer wants — so no reframing. Wired into
input() so mp4:// flows to every sink (mkv://, audio://, json://, …).
In-memory write→read round-trip test proves symmetry (streams, hvcC,
sample sizes survive). Progressive MP4 only; fragmented (moof) is future.
Make Mp4Sink generic over a seekable writer; the CLI output() arm wraps
the file in WritebackFile (as mkv:// does) so a UHD-scale mux to slow /
NFS staging avoids the dirty-page burst. The mdat backpatch is an
ordinary seek WritebackFile already handles (seek_then_patch_roundtrip).
Tests switched to in-memory Cursor writers.
Generalize the sink to N tracks: one video + every MP4-mappable audio
track. Audio sample entries built from the first frame's bitstream —
AC-3 (ac-3/dac3) and E-AC-3 (ec-3/dec3), parsing the (E-)AC-3 BSI for
fscod/bsid/bsmod/acmod/lfeon and the data rate. Per-sample audio
durations from PTS deltas (no reorder → no ctts, all sync). Fit oracle
(mp4_fit_report, exported): video HEVC/H264, audio AC-3/E-AC-3;
TrueHD/DTS/LPCM and bitmap subs are excluded with a typed reason so the
CLI can report exclusions — never a silent drop.
Verified vs ffmpeg -c copy on real discs: AVC+AC3 and HEVC(HDR10)+AC3
both frame-exact on every track (video 2650/4270, audio 5567/3454),
duration and colour identical, clean decode. On a pathological 4-clip
title ffmpeg's OWN output emits the same DTS-monotonicity warnings (more
of them) — source-inherent, not a muxer defect.
New mux/mp4: writes ftyp+mdat+moov (moov-at-end), streaming samples into
a 64-bit mdat and building the sample tables in memory, patched at
finish(). Video track (HEVC/AVC): passthrough length-prefixed NALs
(already MP4 framing), full stts/stsz/stsc/co64/stss and signed ctts,
CFR-derived decode timeline (pipeline carries presentation PTS only), and
a colr box for HDR10 colour signalling. hvc1/avc1 sample entry from the
hvcC/avcC codec_private. Fail-loud on codecs with no MP4 mapping.
Verified against ffmpeg -c copy on real discs: AVC-SDR (300) and
HEVC-HDR10 UHD (Dune) both frame-exact (8159 / 8160 frames), colour-exact
(bt2020/smpte2084/bt2020nc), and clean-decoding. Audio + fit oracle land
in M2.
Completes the per-track-class trio with audio:// / sub://. video:// is
the demux path with a TrackKind::Video kind filter — each video track to
its own native elementary stream (.hevc/.h264/.vc1/.m2v/.obu), no audio
or subtitles. Reuses the existing kind_filter machinery and extension
map; scheme/parse/output/write-only-guard arms added symmetrically.
The json:// sink previously emitted only codec + language + pid per
stream. Fill it out to the full DiscTitle: video carries resolution
(+ pixel dims, interlaced), frame rate (+ fraction), HDR, colour space,
display aspect, and measured CICP; audio carries channels (+ count),
sample rate (+ Hz), and editorial purpose; subtitles carry the
qualifier. Add the clip list and chapter names. This is everything the
scan resolved, so json:// is a lossless machine-readable view of a
title rather than a summary.
Two write-only file sinks that ignore the PES stream and emit the title
metadata at construction (fvi-style, wired through output()):
- chapters:// — chapter markers in the format the extension picks: .xml
(Matroska, default), .txt/.ogm (OGM simple), .vtt (WebVTT). Reuses the
existing chapters_xml/chapters_ogm writers; adds a WebVTT writer.
- json:// — one title's model (playlist, duration, size, format, streams,
chapters) as pretty JSON via serde_json.
New mux/meta_sink.rs; StreamUrl gains Chapters/Json; codec_label +
chapters_xml/ogm promoted to pub(crate) for reuse.
Tests: chapters_format_selected_by_extension, title_json_carries_streams_and_chapters.
Two extraction sinks built on the existing demux machinery: audio:// keeps
only audio tracks (native containers .thd/.dts/.ac3/.eac3/.pcm...), sub://
only subtitle tracks (PGS .sup, VobSub .idx+.sub, text .srt) — one file per
track, no video, no chapters sidecar. DemuxOptions gains a kind_filter; the
DemuxSink writers (already complete) are reused verbatim. StreamUrl gains
Audio/Sub variants; output() builds the filtered DemuxSink.
Test: kind_filter_keeps_only_the_selected_class.
The read_plan fix landed on the file-backed highway (build_iso_pipeline)
but the inline DiscStream (live single-pass) still passed the alternate
device-group half to the demux — a known FMTS bug on rip_mode="single".
DiscStream::with_key_map installs the proactive map and rewrites the
extent walk to the read plan, so the live single-pass path reads ONLY
our-phase units, exactly like the highway. DecryptingSectorSource gains
set_key_map for the already-constructed decorator. Non-forensic maps
return the extents unchanged, so every non-FMTS disc is byte-identical.
Test: with_key_map_reads_only_our_phase_units — a forensic Even segment
drops exactly its alternate units from the extent walk. Precommit green
on 1.86.
An FMTS forensic segment interleaves our device group's variant with a
foreign group's at the aligned-unit level. The mux was decrypting only
our phase but leaving the alternate (foreign) units in the buffer as
ciphertext, trusting the demux to 'drop untouched ciphertext cleanly'.
It doesn't: random 0x47 bytes at the 192-byte stride hit tracked PIDs,
mis-parse, and trip the demux's concealed-gap keyframe-resync — which
drops GOOD frames of ours around every segment (349 resyncs / ~6391
packets on Stand by Me, visible as playback flaws).
The map already knows which unit each LBA is and, for a forensic
segment, which phase is ours. AacsKeyMap::read_plan turns that into the
title's read plan: every default/CPS unit, plus inside a segment ONLY
our-phase units. The alternate units are never fetched, decrypted, or
handed to the demux — the demux sees one gapless our-variant stream.
- read_plan is general (single-CPS, multi-CPS, FMTS): a map with no
Even/Odd range returns the extents unchanged, so DVD/CSS, single-CPS
UHD and multi-CPS Blu-ray read byte-for-byte as before.
- Wired into build_iso_pipeline (the file-backed highway that muxes
resumed ISOs). Producer re-anchors unit_base per extent, so per-unit
segment reads stay unit-aligned and decrypt correctly.
- Extent gains PartialEq/Eq for the read_plan tests.
Tests: read_plan non-forensic unchanged; forensic omits exactly the
alternate units, kept units match the decrypt gate unit-for-unit. All
2314 lib tests pass; precommit green on 1.86.
Pending: end-to-end ISO re-mux validation (concealed gaps 349 -> ~0).
Verified zero callers across all consumer crates AND libfreemkv integration tests:

locate_ranges, mapfile::{MapEntry,entries}, diag::dump_mkv_track,

DemuxSink/FviSink crate-root re-exports (constructed internally by output() via
the direct module path). Staged demux option variants marked allow(dead_code).
