Hello!

I have a 3D demo blu-ray disc with an expiry date - are AnyDVD able to remove this date? When I make a full backup (1:1 - ISO) is the expiry date also on the backup disc?

Thanks!
 
You know you need to produce a log file before one of the developers can help.
 
Sorry - here they are...

Thanks!

Media is AACS protected!

There is no BD+. The only way I can imagine they plan to expire this demo disk is to revoke the AACS key. So, if this is the case AnyDVD handles this already. Lets see what James or Peer have to say here.
 
Thanks Mike! So I'm waiting for an answer from James or Peer.
 
An easy way to expire a disc would be by checking the date in the BD-J code (and this would also be easy to circumvent).
Bit there is no BD-J code on this disc (I think, that's what mike_r actually meant, when he wrote BD+).

revoking an AACS key for a particular disc is not possible.

Other means of expiring involve AACS (like the content revocation list), but these only work with AACS active.

So yes, I don't see any other way how this disc can expire with AnyDVD active.
 
Another way that it was planned to "expire" a disk in the past was to use a dye that would deteriorate when exposed to light. This way was proposed for postal rental companies that would send discs in a light sealed packaging. When you opened it you had a 7 day guarantee that it would work, after this it would start to fade until useless.

I don't know if this ever took off, but could be something to consider.
 
Thanks Peer and Mike!

On the disc is a label "Expiration on 31Dec10" and the following comment:

WARNING:
Use behind the set time period is a breach of contract and liable for damages

So, it's a "legal expiration" then... :)
